The Authors report 120 cases of protruded lumbar disc operated on by microsurgical technique over the last 3 years. The operating technique is summarized and the indications for this type of surgery are discussed. Both immediate and long-term results are reported. Five patients were re-operated on because of recurrence in the same interspace. As the follow-up revealed there were favourable results, regarding especially the disappearance of pain and resumption of working activity. Microsurgical Lumbar Discectomy (MLD) represents an improvement and a valid alternative to standard technique: it enables to remove the disc with a very limited local damage which means a shorter period of convalescence and a better aesthetic result.
作者报告了过去3年中采用显微外科技术治疗的120例腰椎间盘突出症病例。总结了手术技术并讨论了此类手术的适应症。报告了近期和长期结果。5例患者因同一间隙复发而再次手术。随访结果显示效果良好，尤其是疼痛消失和恢复工作活动方面。显微外科腰椎间盘切除术（MLD）是对标准技术的一种改进和有效替代方法：它能够以非常有限的局部损伤切除椎间盘，这意味着恢复期更短且美观效果更好。
