Long-term results of minimally invasive lumbar disc surgery.

Long-term results of minimally invasive primary lumbar discectomies are processed. The operation was fairly simple and inexpensive, with reduced hospital stay (24 hours). The subsequent rehabilitation was compared to the more extensive procedures. The Oswestry-style questionnaires were found to be gratifying with a high percentage (80.9%) of patients, who returned to normal or nearly normal lives. No significant difference was found with published results of microdiscectomy.
