Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CT Three-Dimensional Reconstruction - Percutaneous Spinal Endoscopic Surgery for the Treatment of Extreme Lateral Lumbar Disc Herniation (ELLDH).Methods: Forty-three patients with ELLDH from April, 2015 to December 2017 of our institute were enrolled in this study,which including 15 males and 28 females, and the average age is 58.6years±7.7years. All patients were treated by CT three-dimensional reconstruction guided full endoscopic surgery. The operation time and hospitalization days were recorded. CT-scan was immediately performed postoperative to assure that the disc herniation has been completely removed.The visual analog scale (VAS) was assessed preoperative and 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 6 months postoperative and the Oswestr disability index(ODI) was assessed preoperative,1 month,6 months and 12 months postoperative.The modified Macnab score also been evaluated at 1month, 6 months and 12months posoperative. Results: All patients were successful treated operation.The symptom was significantly improved. The VAS score was decreased from 8.3 ± 1.6(preoperative) to 2.1 ± 0.7(1 day postoperative), 1.3 ± 0.6(1 week postoperative),0.8 ±0.2(1 month postoperative),0.5±0.3(6 months postoperative), respectively(P < 0.05). The ODI improved from 75.6 ±12.7(preoperative) to 18.3 ± 7.3 (1 month postoperative),to 16.8±5.5(6 months postoperative) and 10.8±3.2(12 months postoperative), respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The MacNab excellent rate was 88.4%(1 month postoperative),95.3% (6 months postoperative) and 95.3%(12 months postoperative). Conclusion: The Treatment of CT Three-Dimensional Reconstruction - Percutaneous Spinal Endoscopic Surgery for Extreme Lateral Lumbar Disc Herniation is safe and effective. The residual probability of lumbar spine herniation is decreased. This good auxiliary can overcome incomplete endoscopic surgical field and reduce the possibility of postoperative symptoms relapse.
