Clinical outcome of interlaminar full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy for treatment of lumbar disc herniation at Hanoi Medical University Hospital
Main Article Content
Abstract
For treating lumbar disc herniation, minimally invasive surgery and the application of endoscopy in particular has been developed and applied in many major centers. To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of interlaminar endoscopic lumbar discectomy, we conducted a retrospective study of 30 patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation who underwent surgery from 2019 to 2024 at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. The results found that the surgery was mainly performed on the L5S1 disc, the surgery time was 94.0 ± 20.5 minutes, and the hospital stay was 3.1 ± 1.3 days. The VAS score decreased and the patient's condition improved before, after treatment, and at the time of re-examination. The ODI score decreased from 60.64 ± 5.76 before surgery to 17.43 ± 2.82 after surgery and to 16.92 ± 2.40 at the time of re-examination. In addition, we recorded just 2 cases of postoperative pain complications due to nerve root irritation. Thereby, it can be affirmed that endoscopic lumbar discectomy through interlaminar is a safe, effective surgery for lumbar disc herniation.
