title: [Patient expectations from lumbar intervertebral disk operations-- an analysis of a questionnaire survey of 200 patients].
abstract: Using a questionnaire 200 patients with lumbar disc herniation syndrome were asked preoperatively about important aspects of care during their hospitalisation. They had to answer 17 questions using a classification system of 7 points. The most important point for patients was the qualification of the head of the clinic, followed by a distinct explanation about risks during operation. Aspects of discharge from clinic, recovery in fitness for work or the extent of the scar were of minor interest.
