Practice preference of revision surgery for recurrent lumbar disc herniation: an international survey of AO spine members
Partial discectomy and interbody fusion are the predominant management of choice in both the early and late rLDH. The choice of fusion predominantly depends on the state of the index and adjacent segment, instability and degeneration respectively. Fusion in the early rLDH is significantly influenced by region, surgical training, and volume of cases handled by the surgeons.
