Reliability (Revalidation) of MSU MRI Classification of Lumbar Disc Herniation in 100 Patients Series: Severity and Objective Surgical Criteria

Background Data: Success rate of discectomy is greatly variable between surgeons due to lack of clear categorization of lumbar disc patients. Valid radiological objective criteria are required especially for patients with uncertain surgical indication to help in pre-operative patient assessment, sur...

Two cases of unintended durotomy occurred in MSU grade 3-AB (40%) and the other 3 cases occurred in grade 2-AB (60%). One case of CSF leak occurred in 3-AB herniated disc lesion (50%) and another one in 2-AB lesion (50%).
