This paper gives preoperative clinical data, end-result of surgery, rate of complications and true recurrent herniations. On the basis of the results, both soon after operation and at later follow-up (between three and five years) we fell encouraged to continue using this mode of operation. Complete or significant pain relief was achieved in 92% of patients; 93% were able to return to their preoperative normal physical activities. The frequency of complications was low. © 1995 Walter de Gruyter & Co.en10.1007/BF00383724info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLumbar Discectomy; Microsurgery; Minimal Invasive SurgeryMethylprednisolone; Sulfamethoxazole; Trimethoprim; Adult; Aged; Article; Computer Assisted Tomography; Controlled Study; Female; Human; Infection; Intervertebral Disk Disease; Major Clinical Study; Male; Myelography; Priority Journal; Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Female; Follow-Up Studies; Human; Intervertebral Disk Displacement; Lumbar Vertebrae; Male; Microsurgery; Recurrence; Treatment OutcomeArticle1831831882-s2.0-00288034988570065Q1
