SINOPSIS

In this review we give a critical overview of some problems related to the surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniations. The following points and questions are discussed: Pathogenic and pathophysiological factors. Diagnostic tools: Which are the best? What do patients expect from surgery? What are the risk factors? Physical therapy versus surgery or both? What is a favorable result after lumbar disc surgery? Current scientific problems. To investigate the effectiveness of lumbar disc surgery, the starting conditions, the aim, and the follow-up period have to be taken into account. Unfortunately, these points are still under discussion and the instrument to evaluate effectiveness has not been found.
