One of the main causes of the development of debilitating pain syndrome after surgical treatment of a herniated disc is herniation recurrence. This pathology dictates the need to perform reoperation on an already operated segment of the spinal column, which complicates the technique of surgical intervention and negatively affects the relief of pain syndrome. In the presented review of scientific publications selected from the medical literature databases PubMed, E-library and Cochrane, the current problems of the pathogenesis of recurrent herniated discs in the lumbar spine are considered. The concept of risk factors for the development of recurrent disc herniation is highlighted, their characteristics are given, and the significance of each of them in the development of recurrent disc herniation is analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
