Objective. Recurrent lumbar disc herniation (RLDH) is the most common cause of sciatica after primary discectomy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of transpedicular dynamic stabilization (TDS) combined with limited rediscectomy in the treatment of single-level RLDH. Methods. We retrospectively evaluated a consecutive series of 24 middle-aged patients who underwent TDS (Dynesys system) combined with limited rediscectomy (i.e., removing only extruded or loose disc fragments) for single-level Carragee type II and type IV RLDH between April 2012 and September 2017. Clinical results were evaluated with visual analog scale (VAS) for leg and low back pain, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores, and complications. Imaging data include lumbar segment motion and intervertebral height. Results. The mean follow-up period was 38 months. The VAS and ODI scores were significantly improved at the last follow-up. The average range of motion (ROM) at the stabilized segment was 6.4° before surgery and 4.2° at the last follow-up, with a 78.6% mean preservation ( P  < 0.05). Intervertebral height at the stabilized segment decreased slightly after surgery ( P  < 0.05). However, there was no further decline at the last follow-up. There were no cases of reherniation, screw loosening, or segmental instability. Conclusions. TDS combined with limited rediscectomy resulted in an effective procedure in middle-aged patients with Carragee type II and type IV RLDH. It was able to stabilize the operated segment with partial motion preservation. Moreover, it could maintain disc height and decrease the risk of recurrence in patients with a large posterior annular defect.

Objective. To compare the effectiveness of surgical methods for treating patients with recurrent lumbar disc herniation.Material and Methods. The sample consisted of 160 patients operated on in 2014–2019 for recurrent lumbar disc herniation by percutaneous endoscopic discectomy (Group 1), microsurgical discectomy (Group 2), single-level transforaminal interbody fusion (Group 3) and single-level total intervertebral disc replacement (Group 4). The effectiveness of surgical treatment was evaluated using the NRS-11, ODI, and MacNab questionnaires.Results. Assessment of the pain syndrome severity and the vital activity level of patients revealed significant (p < 0.05) differences in favor of total intervertebral disc replacement. Excellent and good outcomes after arthroplasty according to MacNab criteria were noted in all patients in this group. Similar outcomes were reported in 77.5 % (31/40) of patients in the TLIF group, in 75.1 % (24/32) of patients in the percutaneous endoscopic discectomy group and in 72.6 % (45/62) of patients in the microdiscectomy group. The operation time and length of hospital stay were shorter in the endoscopic and microsurgical discectomy groups (p < 0.001). However, the lower incidence of complications and reoperations was observed in groups of posterior interbody fusion and arthroplasty (p > 0.05).Conclusion. Arthroplasty with the M6-L implant expands the possibilities of surgery for recurrent lumbar disc herniation. Total intervertebral disc replacement and posterior interbody fusion for recurrent lumbar disc herniation are more effective in comparison with decompressive operations, which is reflected in the improvement of clinical treatment outcomes, reduction of perioperative complications and frequency of repeated interventions.

One of the main causes of the development of debilitating pain syndrome after surgical treatment of a herniated disc is herniation recurrence. This pathology dictates the need to perform reoperation on an already operated segment of the spinal column, which complicates the technique of surgical intervention and negatively affects the relief of pain syndrome. In the presented review of scientific publications selected from the medical literature databases PubMed, E-library and Cochrane, the current problems of the pathogenesis of recurrent herniated discs in the lumbar spine are considered. The concept of risk factors for the development of recurrent disc herniation is highlighted, their characteristics are given, and the significance of each of them in the development of recurrent disc herniation is analyzed.

Abstract Background Minimally invasive-transforaminal lumbar interbody fusions (MIS-TLIF), in which the nerve root pain is caused by early postoperative edema reaction, is a common clinical complication. However, there is no effective method to solve this problem. We aimed to use gelatin sponge impregnated with mixed anti-inflammatory drugs combined with no drainage after MIS-TLIF to optimize postoperative effect in the treatment of recurrent lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods From June 2018, the middle-aged patients (45–60 years old) with recurrent LDH were recruited. Included patients were treated with MIS-TLIF surgery, and no drainage tube was placed after surgery. All patients were randomly divided into intervention group (gelatin sponge impregnated with mixed anti-inflammatory drugs) and control group (saline was immersed in gelatin sponge as a control). Results The intervention group included 63 cases, and the control group included 65 cases. The length of hospital stays and bedridden period in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The VAS score of low back pain in the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group at postoperative days 1–6 (P < 0.05, for all). The VAS scores of leg pain in the intervention group at postoperative days 1–9 were statistically lower than the control group (P < 0.05, for all). Conclusions Application of gelatin sponge impregnated with mixed anti-inflammatory drugs combined with no drainage after MIS-TLIF can significantly further optimize the surgical effect of recurrent LDH and shorten the bedridden period and hospital stays, to achieve the purpose of early rehabilitation.
