Purpose: The clinical outcomes of using a tubular microdiscectomy for lumbar disc herniation were evaluated by comparison with conventional microdiscectomy.
Methods: All of the comparative studies published in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases as of 1 May 2023 were included. All outcomes were analysed using Review Manager 5.4.
Results: This meta-analysis included four randomized controlled studies with a total of 523 patients. The results showed that using tubular microdiscectomy for lumbar disc herniation was more effective than conventional microdiscectomy in improving the Oswestry Disability Index (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in operating time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, Visual Analogue Scale, reoperation rate, postoperative recurrence rate, dural tear incidence, and complications rate (all P > 0.05) between the tubular microdiscectomy and conventional microdiscectomy groups.
Conclusions: Based on our meta-analysis, it was found that the tubular microdiscectomy group had better outcomes than the conventional microdiscectomy group in terms of Oswestry Disability Index. However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of operating time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, Visual Analogue Scale, reoperation rate, postoperative recurrence rate, dural tear incidence, and complications rate. Current research suggests that tubular microdiscectomy can achieve clinical results similar to those of conventional microdiscectomy. PROSPERO registration number is: CRD42023407995.

Tubular microdiscectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway for microdiscectomy in improving perioperative clinical outcomes in patients with LDH. This study retrospectively analyzed the prospectively collected perioperative outcomes of patients in pre-ERAS (January 2020 to December 2021) and post-ERAS (January 2022 to September 2023) groups.

Background: Tubular microdiscectomy (TMD) is a treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Although the combination of MRI and deep learning (DL) has shown promise, its application in evaluating postoperative outcomes in TMD has not been fully explored.
Purpose/hypothesis: To evaluate whether integrating preoperative dual-plane MRI-based DL features with clinical features can assess 1-year outcomes in TMD for LDH.

Open vs tubular rate of re-operation for incidental durotomies after lumbar microdiscectomies: a propensity matched analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Incidental durotomy (ID) is a common issue in spine surgeries that can lead to longer hospital stays and complications like pseudomeningocele formation, prompting a study comparing traditional open vs. minimally invasive (MIS) microdiscectomy techniques.
- The study included 192 MIS patients and 2902 open surgery patients, ultimately analyzing 156 matched patients from both groups for ID occurrences and complications.
- Results showed a similar incidence rate of ID in both methods (3.1% total), with one re-operation in the open cohort for pseudomeningocele, but no significant difference in re-operation rates between the two groups, highlighting the need for more extensive future research.
