Predictors of reoperation in hispanic-americans with recurrent lumbosacral disc herniation following primary hemilaminectomy and discectomy surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiple risk factors for recurrent lumbosacral disc herniation (rLDH) have been evaluated. However, it has been difficult to establish a consensus due to conflicting results. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate the predictors of reoperation in Hispanic-Americans with rLDH following primary hemilaminectomy and discectomy surgery.

Methods

A retrospective case-control study of 451 Hispanic-Americans with lumbosacral disc herniation (LDH) was conducted. The sample was divided into two groups: reoperated (cases) and non-reoperated (controls). Preoperative, operative, and postoperative variables of initial surgery were compared between the two groups.

Results

The reoperation rate was 11.5%, with a mean interval between primary surgery and reoperation
