OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical effect of intertransverse approach microendoscopic discectomy for far @entity890 . METHODS: From February 2005 to February 2010, 73 @entity1 with far @entity890 were treated with intertransverse approach microendoscopic discectomy. Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. There were 41 males and 32 females, aged from 19 to 80 years old with an average of 56.5 years; courses of disease ranged from 1 to 25 months with an average of 4.5 months. The main symptom was @entity1643 and @entity13549 , especially the @entity13549 was seriously. Herniation level was in L3,4 of 9 cases, L4,5 of 49 cases, L5S1 of 15 cases. Preoperative, 2 weeks after operation, final follow-up, conditions of @entity158 relief were assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS); total life quality of @entity1 were evaluated by @entity717 Index (ODI) before operation and last follow-up. RESULTS: All operations were performed successfully, operative time was from 40 to 115 min (mean of 50 min); and @entity190 was from 50 to 150 ml (mean of 110 ml). Incision @entity281 had 1 case and incomplete @entity128 had 1 case. All @entity1 were followed up from 3 to 8 years with an average of 4.5 years. Postoperative VAS and ODI had obviously improved (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The technique of intertransverse approach microendoscopic discectomy is a feasible and effective method for far @entity890 .
