The clinical outcomes determined by visual analog scale Japanese Orthopaedic Association SCORE.The performed successfully all (102 males 81 females aged 21 66 years) a mean 16.6-month (range 26 65 months). No postoperative complications, including intestinal vascular nerve injuries, infections, associated At one month surgery, (3.12 ± 1.44 versus 6.76 2.31, P<0.05) significantly lower than baseline sustained until 24 (3.25 1.78 P<0.05). Besides that, score (25.25 3.21 11.78 2.38, increased when compared baseline.PLLD promising, mini-invasive, effective treatment for herniation.
