Abstract:Objective: To compare the curative effect and safety of foraminal endoscope on lumbar disc herniation (LDH) through two different surgical approaches. Methods: The clinical data of 157 patients with LDH who were admitted to the hospital from March 2015 to October 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into foraminal group (foraminal endoscope through foraminal approach surgery, n=76) and laminar group (foraminal endoscope through laminar space approach surgery, n=81) according to different treatment methods. The general surgical conditions, surgical effects, score of visual analogue pain scale (VAS), fear visual analogue scale (FAVS), Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI), incidence of complication and recurrence rate were compared between the two groups. Results: There was no significant difference in operation time or intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (P>0.05). The leaving bed time in foraminal group was significantly shorter than that in laminar group, while treatment cost was significantly lower than that in laminar group (P<0.05). There was no significant different in postoperative total good rate between the two groups (P>0.05). VAS score and ODI score of both groups were significantly decreased after surgery. The intraoperative VAS score in foraminal group was significantly higher than that in laminar group, and preoperative FAVS was significantly higher than that in laminar group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS score or ODI score between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in total incidence of complications or recurrence rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of tissue damage in the posterior spine in laminar group was significantly higher than that in foraminal group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The effects of the two surgical approaches are comparable in terms of clinical curative effect, reducing postoperative pain and function improvement for LDH patients. However, laminar approach can more significantly reduce intraoperative pain and preoperative fear, suitable for patients with L5S1 segment and high ilium cliff. And foraminal approach surgery is suitable for patients who cannot tolerate general anesthesia.
