Abstract Background Lumbar disc prolapse is a localized herniation of disc beyond intervertebral disc space and is the most common cause of sciatica; the aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided caudal epidural steroid injection (CESI) compared with fluoroscopy (FL)-guided CESI in treatment of patients with refractory lumbar disc prolapse (LDP) with radiculopathy. Results At the beginning of the study, there was no significant difference between both groups in all parameters. (a) Group 1 had significantly improved the straight leg raising and modified Schober tests, VAS, and ODI at 1-month and 3-month post-injection evaluation in comparison to baseline recordings (p < 0.001); (b) Group 2 had significantly improved the straight leg raising and modified Schober tests, VAS, and ODI at 1-month and 3-month post-injection evaluation in comparison to baseline recordings (p < 0.001); and (c) US-guided CESI was not statistically different from the FL-guided CESI in the improvement of the straight leg raising (p = 0.87, 0.82) and modified Schober tests (p = 0.87, 0.82) as well as VAS (p = 0.40, 0.43) and ODI (p = 0.7, 0.2) at 1-month and 3-month post-injection evaluation. In a multivariate analysis using CI = 95%, the significant predictors for a successful outcome were duration < 6 months (p = 0.03, OR = 2.25), target level not L2-3/L3-4 (p < 0.001, OR = 4.13), and LDP other than foraminal type (p = 0.002, OR = 3.78). However, age < 40 years was found to be non-significant in predicting a successful outcome (p = 0.38, OR = 0.98). Conclusion US is excellent in guiding CESI with similar treatment outcomes as compared with FL-guided CESI. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03933150.

Background: Discectomy is the standard treatment for lumber disc disease. Fenestration operations involved lot of tissue dissection and so the complications. Instead the endoscopic discectomy involved less tissue dissection but limited exposure. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to compare the outcome of endoscopic discectomy and fenestration discectomy interms of relieve from symptoms and complications. Study Design: Analytic study. Place and duration of study: Neurosurgical unit Bahawal Victoria hospital Bahawalpur, from Feb 2010 to Aug 2010. Patients and Methods: Forty cases fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected. Efficacy of procedure was determined by improvement in Denis pain scale, Macnab’s criteria and straight leg raising (SLR) improvement. Results: Forty patients divided in two equal groups. Patients of group A underwent fenestration and Group B endoscopic discectomy.60%of patients had left sciatica while 40% of patients had right sciatica. According to Denis pain scale 10% patients had moderate pain, 30% had severe pain and 60% had constant pain. Straight leg raising test showed, 50% patients had less than 30O SLR, 30%patients showed SLR of 31̊ to 40̊ and 20%patients had SLR more than 40O. MRI findings were disc bulging, protrusion and rupture. Considering SLR, Denis pain scale and Mcnabs criteria of pain control there was no clinical difference found between the two operative procedures except in two patients in group B when open discectomy had to be performed. Conclusions: MED is a safe and effective mode of treatment for low back pain in patients with lumbar disc herniation.

Abstract Background: Percutaneous Transforaminal Endoscopic Discectomy is used increasingly in patients with Lumbar Disc Herniation. There is little knowledge on the related factors including SLR test influencing the operation. Therefore, we designed this prospective study to explore the relevant factors influencing postoperative effect of PTED surgery.Methods: Consecutive patients with LDH who came to our hospital from August 2015 to September 2016 and received PTED surgery. 4 kinds of scales including VAS (lumbar/leg), ODI and JOA were measured and reassessed at 1 day, 3 months, 6 months, 12months and 36 months after the PTED to assess their surgical outcomes. Results: All the patients had successful surgery. ODI and VAS (lumbar/leg) decreased in all patients and groups. And there was a statistically significant difference in each postoperative follow-up compared with that before surgery in every visit. In addition, the increase of JOA in postoperation was statistically significant compared with that before surgery. And, there is statistically significant difference between the three subpopulations (patients with SLR Positive (0°-30°), SLR Positive (31°-60°) and SLR Negative (61°-) in the changes of the scores of VAS(leg), ODI and JOA. However, there is no statistically significant difference between the three subpopulations (patients with SLR Positive (0°-30°), SLR Positive (31°-60°) and SLR Negative (61°--RRB- in the changes of the score of VAS(lumbar). Conclusions: PTED showed great effect on treating patients with lumbar disc herniation. And the main scale score such as VAS(leg). ODI and JOA showed that there is a statistically significant difference between the three subpopulations treated by PTED. Patients with SLR negative may get greater benefit from PTED.
