Abstrakt: Purpose: The study was conducted to analyze different criteria for lumbar discectomy success rate.
Material and Methods: 493 patients were evaluated by five-component visual-analogue pain scale, Oswestry index, ability to perform normal daily activity and work, satisfaction with surgery results and Watkins scale.
Results: Good and excellent results of surgery correspond with good functional outcome. Generally, values reflecting good outcome could also be used as successful surgery criteria, although 10 to 20% of those patients still have pain complaints and/or are not satisfied with their postoperative functional and economic status.
Conclusion: None of the abovementioned criteria has proved to be absolute prognostic factor. Combination of different predictive values might be useful in lumbar disc surgery outcome anticipation.
