Clinical efficacy of small incision discectomy surgery and discectomy for lumbar disc herniation comparative analysis

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of small incision discectomy surgery and discectomy for lumbar disc herniation. Methods A total of 136 cases of patients with lumbar disc herniation were retrospective analyzed, they were collected from January 2013 to May 2014 to our hospital, according to treatment using surgical methods they were divided into group I(used a small incision discectomy surgery) and group II(used discectomy treatment), 68 cases in each group. The clinical efficacy, operative time, blood loss, hospital stay and lumbar functional improvement rate of two groups were compared. Results(1)The efficiency rate of group I was 91.18%, group II was 80.89%, The efficiency rate of group I was higher than group II, the difference was statistically significant(P0.05).(2)The mean operative time and the average hospital stay of group I was significantly shorter than the control group, average significantly less blood was loss, postoperative JOA 2-year improvement rate was significantly higher, the difference was statistically significant(P0.05). Conclusion Patients with lumbar disc herniation with small incision discectomy surgery clinical results with similar discectomy in treatment should be based on the specific circumstances and choice of surgical indications for ways to improve the therapeutic effect.
