Comparison of the effects of different percutaneous endoscopic removal of nucleus pulposus by vertebral plate gap into the road in the treatment of L5 and S1 lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion

Objective To compare the clinical effect of different percutaneous endoscopic removal of nucleus pulposus vertebral plate gap into the road in the treatment of L5 and S1 lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion. Methods 120 cases with lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion in our hospital were randomly divided into group A and group B, 60 cases in each group.Group A was given the intervertebral foramen mirror vertebral plate gap into the way, group B was given the posterior intervertebral disc mirror reserves the yellow ligament treatment.The operation time, number of perspective, intraoperative blood loss, length of incision, visual analogue scale (VAS), hospitalization days, Oswestey disability index (ODI) before and after surgery were compared between two groups. The curative effect was evaluated by the Macnab criteria. Results The operation time, number of perspectives, intraoperative blood loss, surgical incision length, VAS score, hospitalization days in group A were (58.69±5.26)min, (2.56±0.52)times, (80.23±20.45)mL, (1.63±0.33)cm, (2.95±0.77)points, (4.98±0.84)d, respectively, those in group B were (60.36±5.31)min, (2.55±0.48)times, (75.69±2.96)mL, (1.56±0.21)cm, (2.98±0.69)points, (5.01±0.86)d, the differences between the two groups were not significant (all P>0.05). Immediate postoperation and postoperative 3 months, the ODI scores of group A were (36.96±10.58)points, (9.26±0.23)points, (6.35±0.44)points, respectively, and those of group B were (37.02±9.85)points, (9.42±0.65)points, (6.30±0.39)points, immediately after operation, postoperative 3 months, the ODI scores of the two groups were lower than before operation, compared with immediate postoperation, the ODI scores of postoperative 3 months were significantly reduced, the difference was statistically significant (P 0.05). The excellent rate of group A was 90.00%, which of group B was 91.67%, the difference between the two groups was not obvious (P>0.05). Conclusion Intervertebral foramen mirror the vertebral plate gap into the road and posterior intervertebral disc mirror reserves are yellow ligament in treatment of L5 and S1 lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion will achieve good operation effect, no obvious difference was found between the two methods, before undergoing surgery for the patients' individual condition and indications for judgment, and to choose appropriate surgical method.
