[Microsurgery in lumbar nucleus prolapse].
The article describes the cases of 83 patients with lumbar herniated discs operated by means of microsurgical technique since August 1987. In 69 patients the result was good and they had no symptoms. Ten patients had improved, but were not free of symptoms. Four patients had not improved. The time spent in hospital postoperatively varied from one to ten days, with a mean of five days. The mean period off work after operation was two months and three days. The method is an alternative to standard discectomy in patients with lateral herniated discs.
