Abstract: Surgery for lumbar disc prolapse either way is performed (by an open midline microdiscectomyor a MIS technique) has a recurrence rate which varies from 5% to 18% i and in the majority of cases ends with a new operation [1]. The standard surgical technique for a recurrent disc prolapse implies a minimal mount of bony removal and most important, it is generally necessary to work through a scar tissue in order to reach the offended nerve root. Therefore there is a higher possibility of complication like CSF leak, neurological deficits, mechanical instability and postoperative pain.
