A hundred patients underwent microscopic removal of unilateral lumbar herniated disc in a single level.

The results were: good in 86%, regular in 12% and bad in 2%. Hospital staying after surgery was: 77% just for one day; 12% for two days, 10% for three days and 1% for four days.

Selected patients after lumbar herniated disc microsurgery performed by a skillful surgeon may show positive results such as: short hospital staying: a day or less, minor complications, early walking and quick returning to daily activities.

KEY WORDS: lumbar herniated disc, microscope, treatment.
