Article Synopsis
- The study compares outcomes of three surgical techniques for recurrent lumbar disc herniation (rLDH): repeat microdiscectomy (MD), discectomy with fusion (MD + TLIF), and endoscopic discectomy (TFED).
- A classification system for rLDH is outlined based on patient characteristics such as facet resection and segmental instability, with TFED showing the lowest recurrence rates and best overall outcomes.
- The findings suggest that in young patients without segmental instability, TFED is the preferred option due to its effectiveness and safety profile.
