Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of reconstruction surgery with percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy for patients with lumbar failure syndrome.Methods The clinical data of 28 patients with lumbar surgery failure syndrome who underwent reconstruction surgery using percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy from January 2012 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The visual analogue scale (VAS) of the patients before and after revision surgery was statistically analyzed, and the clinical efficacy after reoperation was evaluated using MacNab standard.Results All of the 28 patients successfully completed intervertebral foraminal surgery, and the operation time was 55~95 min, with an average of (62.2 ± 5.5) min, VAS score of leg pain before operation was (8.1 ± 0.3), VAS score of leg pain after operation was (2.6 ± 0.2), the difference was statistically significant before and after operation (P < 0.05). According to the MacNab functional assessment criteria: among them, 11 cases were excellent, 14 cases were good, 1 case was fair, 2 cases were poor, and the overall satisfaction rate was 89.3%.Conclusion Revision surgery with endoscopic lumbar discectomy is an option for patients with lumbar failure syndrome for which surgical indications are available.
