| Abstract | ||
| Recurrent intervertebral disc prolapsed (RDP) is a major cause of poor result after lumbar discectomy surgery. The aim of current study is to assess risk factors of recurrent disc prolapse in Iraqian population in Hilla teaching hospital from 2002-2013. The study reviewed 40 patients with recurrent disc prolapsed and 100 patients without recurrence retrospectively. To evaluate possible risk factors for herniation recurrence A clinically significant recurrent herniation was defined as a disc herniation causing lower limb pain (sciatica) and (MRI) evidence of disc material at the same level of the previous surgery. Other 100 patients without recurrence were used just for compares to identify possible risk factors for recurrent RDP. There was important variation between groups with and without RDP in sex, smoking, height, weight and occupational characteristic. By putting these differences in logistic regression analysis, it showed that gender (male), height, heavy workers and heavy smoker could expected in lumbar disc prolapsed recurrence(RDP). Taking into consideration sex, heavy smoking and heavy workers as predictors of recurrent RPD, surgeons should advice their patients to limit hard work and put away smoking especially in tall and male ones to prevent RDP recurrence. | ||
