title: [Satisfaction following automated percutaneous lumbar discectomy as a function of clinical parameters].
abstract: 182 patients assessed their condition after automated percutaneous lumbar discectomy (APLD). The analysis of descriptive data parameters++ provides new guidelines for the indication of this minimally invasive procedure: persistent leg pain despite conservative treatment, lumbar disc prolapse in one segment, minimal monological pathology, This ideal constellation implies a restriction of the common guidelines. Under these premises 50% of the patients will be satisfied. So the indication for APLD seems to be justified under more unfavorable patient profiles if the natural course of sciatica was poor.
