Investigation of Preoperative Factors Influencing the Outcome of Motor Deficits in Patients Undergoing Lumbar Microdiskectomy

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Motor Deficits, Lumbar Discectomy, Muscle Weakness, Paresis, Lumbar Disc Herniation

In brief

Lumbar disc herniations may result in lower limb weakness. In such cases, there is a strong indication for surgical intervention through microdiscectomy. This clinical study aims to investigate preoperative factors that may influence the postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing this procedure.
