Prevention of lumbar reherniation by the intraoperative use of a radiofrequency bipolar device: A case & #8211;control study

Conclusions: The low reherniation rate in patients treated by the coblation-assisted microdiscectomy suggests that this technique may reduce the reherniation risk. Clinical outcomes for pain and function at 4 years follow-up compared favorably with literature data. Randomized controlled trial could confirm these results.
