Lumbar microdiscectomy, which relies on the operating microscope for visualization, was first described in the late 1970s. This operation is considered the gold standard procedure for patients who require surgery for symptomatic lumbar disc herniation causing radiculopathy that has not improved with conservative measures. A new approach to the management of symptomatic lumbar disc herniation, microendoscopic discectomy, was introduced in 1997. This operation utilizes a tubular retractor system and a microendoscope for visualization rather than the operating microscope. As it is a new procedure, long-term outcomes have not yet been established for this operation. However, recent literature suggests that microendoscopic discectomy may be as effective as the traditional lumbar microdiscectomy in relieving radiculopathy. This article describes the operative techniques and outcomes reported in the literature for both lumbar microdiscectomy and microendoscopic discectomy.

“…35,36 With respect to age, prior studies have not identified a reliable independent relationship with outcome. 19,22,33,34 One plausible explanation for this association is that elderly patients are more likely to experience progressive arthritic SI joint pain rather than the extra-articular causes that show a predilection toward younger patients and tend to be self-limiting. Support for this hypothesis stems from the observation that a smaller percentage of elderly patients attributed their symptoms to a specific traumatic event (31.8%, P = 0.03).…”
