Less invasive back surgery under the microscope
NCT ID NCT01640977
Summary
This study compared two surgical techniques for spinal fusion to treat painful degenerative disc disease in the lower back. Researchers followed 67 patients who received either traditional open surgery or a newer, less invasive approach. The goal was to see if the newer technique led to fewer complications or faster recovery in the first six weeks after surgery.
