BACKGROUND: More evidence is required to support that computerized tomography navigation percutaneous spinal endoscopy in the treatment of highly migrated lumbar disc herniation is a more minimally invasive surgery than open discectomy . OBJECTIVE: To quantitatively evaluate the efficacy and minimal invasiveness of computerized tomography navigation percutaneous spinal endoscopy and open discectomy in highly migrated lumbar disc herniation. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective randomized study. SETTING: First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical College. METHODS: From August 2016 to February 2020, 68 patients with highly migrated lumbar disc herniation had undergone discectomy. Thirty-five of them randomly received computerized tomography (CT) navigation percutaneous spinal endoscopy at the pain department (CT navigation percutaneous spinal endoscopy group), and 33 patients received open discectomy at the orthopedics department (open discectomy group). The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, and modified MacNab criteria were applied to evaluate the clinical situations pre- and post-operation. The serum concentrations of IL-6, TNF-alpha, creatine phosphokina (CPK), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the 2 groups were quantitatively measured. RESULTS: The postoperative VAS scores of the back and lower extremity were lower than those pre-operation in both groups, while the VAS score of back pain in the open discectomy group was significantly higher than that in the CT navigation percutaneous spinal endoscopy group at one week post-operation (P < 0.01). The postoperative JOA scores were significantly higher than those pre-operation in both groups. The serum concentrations of IL-6, TNF-alpha, CPK, and CRP in the open discectomy group were higher than those in the computerized tomography navigation percutaneous spinal endoscopy group postoperatively (P < 0.01). LIMITATIONS: This is a single-center randomized study and with the limitation of the sample size. CONCLUSION: CT navigation percutaneous spinal endoscopy is a more minimally invasive surgery than open discectomy. Certificate number for the medical institution conducting the clinical trials for humans in China: 934. KEY WORDS: Highly migrated lumbar disc herniation, endoscopic, CT navigation, trauma

Abstract Background: Calcified lumbar disc herniation (CLDH) is considered to be a special type of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID), with safety and efficacy, has been proved to be a minimally invasive surgery for LDH. However, there are few studies on PEID in the treatment of CLDH at L5-S1 level. This research aimed to analyze the clinical efficacy of PEID for L5-S1 CLDH.Methods: From August 2016 to April 2020, we retrospectively analyzed 28 consecutive patients (17 males; 11 females) with L5-S1 CLDH treated with PEID at our institution. All the patients were followed up for greater than 1 year postoperatively. The demographic characteristics, surgical results and clinical outcomes estimated by the visual analog scale (VAS) for leg pain, Oswestry disability index (ODI) and modified MacNab criteria were collected.Results: All patients were successfully performed by PEID. The mean operative time and intraoperative blood loss were 65.36 ± 5.26 minutes and 13.21 ± 4.35 ml, respectively. The VAS for leg pain and ODI scores improved remarkably from 7.54 ± 0.96 to 1.50 ± 0.51 (P < 0.05) and from 69.29 ± 9.91 to 17.43 ± 3.69 (P < 0.05) a year after operation, respectively. According to the modified MacNab criteria of the last follow-up, the excellent and good rates are 92.86%. Two of the patients had complications, one had nerve root injury and the other had postoperative dysesthesia.Conclusions: PEID achieved good clinical outcomes in the treatment of L5-S1 CLDH. And PEID was a safe and effective minimally invasive surgery for L5-S1 CLDH.

OBJECTIVELumbar disc herniation (LDH) in the pediatric population is rare and exhibits unique characteristics compared with adult LDH. There are limited data regarding the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) using tubular retractors in pediatric patients with LDH. Here, the outcomes of MIS tubular microdiscectomy for the treatment of pediatric LDH are evaluated.METHODSTwelve consecutive pediatric patients with LDH were treated with MIS tubular microdiscectomy at the authors’ institution between July 2011 and October 2015. Data were gathered from retrospective chart review and from mail or electronic questionnaires. The Macnab criteria and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used for outcome measurements.RESULTSThe mean age at surgery was 17 ± 1.6 years (range 13–19 years). Seven patients were female (58%). Prior to surgical intervention, 100% of patients underwent conservative treatment, and 50% had epidural steroid injections. Preoperative low-back and leg pain, positive straight leg raise, and myotomal leg weakness were noted in 100%, 83%, and 67% of patients, respectively. The median duration of symptoms prior to surgery was 9 months (range 1–36 months). The LDH level was L5–S1 in 75% of patients and L4–5 in 25%. The mean ± SD operative time was 90 ± 21 minutes, the estimated blood loss was ≤ 25 ml in 92% of patients (maximum 50 ml), and no intraoperative or postoperative complications were noted at 30 days. The median hospital length of stay was 1 day (range 0–3 days). The median follow-up duration was 2.2 years (range 0–5.8 years). One patient experienced reherniation at 18 months after the initial operation and required a second same-level MIS tubular microdiscectomy to achieve resolution of symptoms. Of the 11 patients seen for follow-up, 10 patients (91%) reported excellent or good satisfaction according to the Macnab criteria at the last follow-up. Only 1 patient reported a fair level of satisfaction by using the same criteria. Seven patients completed an ODI evaluation at the last follow-up. For these 7 patients, the mean ODI low-back pain score was 19.7% (SEM 2.8%).CONCLUSIONSTo the authors’ knowledge, this is the longest outcomes study and the largest series of pediatric patients with LDH who were treated with MIS microdiscectomy using tubular retractors. These data suggest that MIS tubular microdiscectomy is safe and efficacious for pediatric LDH. Larger prospective cohort studies with longer follow-up are needed to better evaluate the long-term efficacy of MIS tubular microdiscectomy versus other open and MIS techniques for the treatment of pediatric LDH.
