In a meta-analysis of 69 prospective and retrospective studies, we investigated the value of various surgical techniques in the treatment of lumbar disk herniations. This analysis includes standard diskectomy (5080 patients from nine series), microdiskectomy (5354/23), and comparison of both techniques (2494/10) and furthermore chemonucleolysis (2729/16), laser therapy (881/3), percutaneous nucleotomy (3506/18), comparisons of percutaneous techniques (942/5) with microdiskectomies (561/5) and standard diskectomies (1020/6). Outcomes were rated according to Macnab's criteria: I "excellent", II "good", III "improved", IV "same as before", V "worse", I/II "markedly improved", III "partially improved", IV/V "not improved", I-III "successful", and IV/V "unsuccessful". Results after microdiskectomy were "successful" more often (90% vs. 95%), "good/excellent" more often (82% vs. 73%), and patients left the hospital sooner than with standard diskectomy. Recurrence rates were comparable (4%). Results of both open techniques were clearly superior to those from any type of percutaneous treatment: chemonucleolysis und laser therapy were "successful" in 69% and 70% of cases respectively, with recurrence rates of 17% and 18%, endoscopic nucleotomy was "successful" in 84% of cases, and recurrence rate was 14%.
