The lumbar disc herniation is the most common spinal degenerative pathology and microdiscectomy the most often performed surgery. Microsurgical discectomy is the gold standard therapy for patients with lumbar disc herniation who do not respond to conservative treatment. Although discectomy is generally perceived to be successful, there is a high long-term failure rate. This results either from a recurrence of symptoms by a recurrent disc herniation or chronic and progressive back pain. Patient satisfaction in major population studies was only 75% one year postoperatively, and approximately 20% of patients were reoperated within 10 years. The aim of the registry is to record data of patients who undergo surgery due to a herniated disc. Thus, a Quality control can be carried out and the outcome of these patients can be observed and compared between neurosurgical centers in Switzerland.
