The effcet of annulus fibrosus suture combined with percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy on obese patients with lumbar disc herniation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a prevalent degenerative disc disorder frequently resulting in lumbar and leg pain. Obese patients with LDH often encounter the scenario where the disc herniation is not completely resolved in the short term following percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED), necessitating subsequent surgical intervention, or where long-term reherniation occurs post-procedure. Currently, the literature provides little information regarding the application of annulus fibrosus suture (AFS) as a supplementary measure to PTED for diminishing the recurrence of disc herniation. Our aim was to evaluate the short-term and long-term therapeutic outcomes of combining PTED with AFS, with a particular focus on the impact of AFS on the recurrence rate o
