title: [The specific features of surgery of herniated intervertebral disks].
abstract: In 200 patients with posterolateral and foraminal hernias, the sizes of intervertebral foramens were studied by anatomic methods and on the operating table. There was evidence for the effectiveness of controlled decompression of neurovascular formations with the optimum foremen-root ratio of 1.5-1.8:8.1. Outcomes of different procedures of the operation were comparatively analyzed. Controlled decompression exhibited its advantage in reducing poor outcomes to 1.6%.
