Description
Summary:STUDY DESIGN.Retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained surgical registry. OBJECTIVE.To examine the association between body mass index (BMI) and the risk for undergoing a revision procedure following a single-level minimally invasive (MIS) lumbar discectomy (LD). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA.Studies conflict as to whether greater BMI contributes to recurrent herniation and the need for revision procedures following LD. Patients and surgeons would benefit from knowing whether greater BMI is a risk factor to guide the decision whether to pursue an operative versus non-operative treatment. METHODS.Patients undergoing a single-level MIS LD were retrospectively identified in our institutionʼs prospectively maintained surgical registry. BMI was categorized as normal weight (
