About

This study aims to evaluate the clinical (pain) and functional (patient reported outcomes) efficacy of percutaneous discectomies under CT guidance to treat lumbar disc herniations resistant to conservative treatment and nerve root infiltrations.

The aim is also to evaluate the economic impact of the procedure, mainly through the length of hospitalization and the time to return to work.

Patients were evaluated initially before surgery and then at 1, 3 and 6 months.

Enrollment: 87 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
