[Lumbar disc herniation; neurosurgical view (author's transl)].
Evidently, the choice of treatment in lumbar disc herniation seems to depend more on the medical knowledge of the first consulted doctor than on actual scientific considerations. Thus, many patients having been insufficiently treated for a long time, are admitted to the neurosurgical department very late. Nowadays, myelography using modern contrast media enables the protruded disc to be exactly localized and to be removed with minimal damage to the tissue.
