The Timing of Diskectomy as a Predictor of Outcomes in Patients With Lumbar Disk Herniation: A Cohort Study on Varying Durations of Preoperative Symptoms
Our results support the importance of timing surgery on the postoperative outcomes of patients with LDH. Surgery for LDH within 1 month of the onset of symptoms leads to a faster improvement in neurological deficit and more significant relief from radicular pain compared with the duration of the symptoms for more than 1 month.
