Changes in Disc Height as a Prognostic Factor in Patients Undergoing Microscopic Discectomy

CONCLUSION: In patients who underwent microdiscectomy, the DH ratios at 1, 6, and 12 months after surgery were prognostic factors for back pain scores at 12 months after surgery. Aggressive discectomy is recommended for lower postoperative DH ratios and VAS scores, leading to improved patient satisfaction.PMID:37799026 | DOI:10.3340/jkns.2023.0110
