ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Recurrent lumbar disc herniation has been defined as disc herniation at the same level, regardless of ipsilateral or contralateral herniation, with a pain-free interval greater than 6 months. The aim of this study is to analyze outcomes and identify the potential risk factors for recurrent lumbar disc herniation.METHODS:
The authors retrospectively reviewed the cases of 178 patients who underwent open discectomy for single-level lumbar disc herniation. Visual analogue scales and modified Macnab criteria were used to compare the clinical outcomes between the recurrent group and the non-recurrent group. Sex, age, discectomy level, degree of disc degeneration, type of disc herniation, pain-free interval after first-operation, smoking status, and trauma were investigated as potential recurrence risk factors.RESULTS:
Of the 178 patients for whom the authors were able to definitely assess symptomatic recurrence status, 18 patients (10.1%) underwent revision surgery for recurrent disc herniation. The most common level involved was L4-L5 (61%) and the mean period of time to recurrence was 18.7 months (6-61 months). There were 17 cases of ipsilateral herniation and 1 case of contralateral herniation. The types of herniation for which revision surgery was done were protrusion (3 cases), and transligamentous extrusion (14 cases). There were five excellent, eight good, and two fair results.CONCLUSION:
Repeated discectomy for recurrent disc herniation produced unsatisfactory outcomes. Factors such as sex, type of disc herniation and traumatic events were found to be significant risk factors.
