The understanding of lumbar spine pathologies made substantial progress at the turn of the twentieth century. The authors review the original publication of Otto Veraguth in 1929 reporting on the successful resection of a herniated lumbar disc, published exclusively in the German language. His early report is put into the historical context, and its impact on the understanding of pathologies of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is estimated. The Swiss surgeon and Nobel Prize laureate Emil Theodor Kocher was among the first physicians to describe the traumatic rupture of the IVD in 1896. As early as 1909 Oppenheim and Krause published 2 case reports on surgery for a herniated lumbar disc. Goldthwait was the first physician to delineate the etiopathogenes is between annulus rupture, symptoms of sciatica, and neurological signs in his publication of 1911. Further publications by Middleton and Teacher in 1911 and Schmorl in 1929 added to the understanding of lumbar spinal pathologies. In 1929, the Swiss neurologist Veraguth (surgery performed by Hans Brun) and the American neurosurgeon Walter Edward Dandy both published their early experiences with the surgical therapy of a herniated lumbar disc. Veraguth's contribution, however, has not been appreciated internationally to date. The causal relationship between lumbar disc pathology and sciatica remained uncertain for some years to come. The causal relationship was not confirmed until Mixter and Barr's landmark paper in 1934 describing the association of sciatica and lumbar disc herniation, after which the surgical treatment became increasingly popular. Veraguth was among the first physicians to report on the clinical course of a patient with successful resection of a herniated lumbar disc. His observations should be acknowledged in view of the limited experience and literature on this ailment at that time.

Lumbar discectomy is generally performed to reduce pain or disability and thereby improve quality of life. Important surgery-related results, therefore, include the patients' perceptions of the effect of surgery on their health and ability to perform daily tasks. Spine surgeons should have an understanding of basic concepts of outcome measurement and be able to select appropriate questionnaires and incorporate them into their clinical practices and research. A brief review of the fundamental principles of outcome research is presented, and the recent lumbar discectomy literature concerning these ideas is summarized. Properly designed, conducted, and reported outcome studies of lumbar discectomy will assist the spine surgeon in selecting appropriate patients for surgery, educating them regarding expected results, and comparing this procedure with novel treatments for lumbar disc disease.

Six patients with cancer presented with signs and symptoms of a lumbar herniated disc syndrome due to a herniated lumbar disc. The differential diagnosis and literature are reviewed. In four of the six, the patients' complaints were attributed to the malignancy, with delay in diagnosis and institution of appropriate therapy. In two of the patients, treatment was administered for presumed spinal metastasis with radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy with castration before the correct diagnosis was made. Surgery was performed on all six patients confirming the diagnosis of a herniated lumbar disc at the involved level and relieving the patients' pain.

Lumbar disc disease is a commonly encountered spine problem. There have been various modalities of treatment that have evolved over the years. The objective of our study is to analyze safety, efficacy, and complications following Micro-lumbar discectomy. All the cases admitted in our spine clinic with symptomatic lumbar disc and who underwent Micro-lumbar discectomy between February2013 to February 2018 were included in our study. Seventy cases were operated during this period. Total operative time, immediate and long term outcome with regards to pain and neurological deficits were tabulated and analyzed for each patient. Furthermore, short and long term complications including wound infection, discit is, instability and recurrence at the same level were also studied and compared with similar studies from the literature. None of our cases had complications related to wound infection, instability or post-operativediscitis. Immediate relief from the radicular pain experienced in the pre-operative period was seen in all patients (Visual analog scale) though benign tingling sensation persisted in a few of them that improved in a short span of time. Recurrence was seen in only one case. Micro-lumbar discectomy is a minimally invasive spine procedure conferring high benefits to the patients. While compared to other methods of intervention, it has a low risk of complications as well as chances of disc recurrences.
