Case description

Herniated lumbar disc (HLD) is arguably the most common spinal disorder requiring surgical intervention. Although the term is fairly straightforward, the exact pathology and thus the clinical picture and natural history may vary. Therefore, it is immensely difficult to formulate universal guidelines for surgical treatment. Although MLD is contemporary regarded among neurosurgeons as a golden standard - it is the most common neurosurgical procedure. In this movie you can observe how it is used to be performed in Opole, Poland. The interesting modification is the use of colagen-fibrin sponge to perform the annuloplasty.
