Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the mental health of patients with lumbar disc herniation who also experience radiculopathy and looks at how percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) impacts their mental well-being.
- A total of 114 patients undergoing PTED were assessed for anxiety and depression, with findings showing 47% had these symptoms prior to surgery; both groups improved post-surgery, but those with preoperative mental health issues had poorer outcomes.
- The conclusion highlights that PTED not only alleviates pain and enhances functionality but also positively influences mental health, indicating a strong link between preoperative mental health and recovery results.
