Özet
BACKGROUND: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) occurs owing to the inability of the posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) to preserve the disc material within the intervertebral space. There is apparently no study that has investigated the histopathological changes occurring in both PLL and disc material in patients with LDH. OBJECTIVE: Investigate and compare the histopathological changes occurring in PLL and disc material of the patients who underwent a surgical operation for LDH. DESIGN: Descriptive, cross-sectional. SETTING: Pathology and neurosurgery departments of a tertiary health care institution PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included patients who underwent surgical operation for LDH from January 2018 to May 2019 and whose PLL and disc material were removed together, and had disc degeneration findings that were radiologically and histologically concordant. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: PLL degeneration scores according to the histopathological findings, changes in disc materials according to the MRI findings, disc degeneration scores according to the histopathological findings.
