Abstract:
There is still a debate about indication of PLDD for patients of disc herniation passed open surgery at some level. Among our opinion, PLDD is indictable for patients having previous laminectomy if the disc height is not decreased remarkably, the annulus fibrosis is still continuous, the wound fibrosification is not obvious and there is (are) not other contraindication(s) as for ordinary patients of herniated disc.
