Abstract:
Objectives
To explore the endoscopic revision and surgical techniques for middle-aged or elderly people with L5/S1 recurrent lumbar disc herniation(rLDH)after percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID).
Methods
From May 2018 to October 2022, 52 middle-aged or elderly patients who underwent percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy for L5/S1 rLDH after PEID were enrolled in the present study,including 28 males and 24 females with a mean age of 58.154±10.634 years.Based on strategy of the endoscopic revision, patients were divided into PETD group (n=22) and PEID group (n=30),and their demographic data and surgery-related indicators were compared. The visual analogue scale (VAS) for back and leg pain, oswestry disability index (ODI) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association Score (JOA) were recorded to evaluate the clinical outcomes.
Results
No significant differences were found in the demographic data, operative time, and intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (P>0.05), but the time of intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy exposures in the PEID group were significantly shorter than that in the PETD group(P<0.05).The follow-up data of the two groups were analyzed by repeated-measures ANOVA,which showed no statistically significant differences between the groups(P>0.05),statistically significant differences between the different time points (P<0.05), and no interaction between the groups and the time points (P>0.05). No serious complication observed during the follow-up.
Conclusions
For recurrent LDH after PEID of L5/S1 segments, percutaneous endoscopic revision can achieve satisfactory results. And since the time of intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy exposures in the PEID group are shorter, the PEID technique is considered as the preferred revision technique when both procedures can remove the compressive material well.And for several specific types of recurrence,mastering the application of the two procedures can effectively minimize the difficulty of the surgery.
