Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze epidemiological data and neurological disorders in single-level lumbar intervertebral disc herniation without confounding factors of root compression. Material and methods. 150 patients with single-level lumbar intervertebral disc herniation operated in the Neurosurgical Department of Gomel Regional Clinical Hospital over 2011-2012 were interviewed, and their medical records and protocols of tomographic studies were studied. Conclusion. The patients with single-level lumbar intervertebral disc herniation males were mostly men (78 people - 52.0 %). 10.0 % of the patients detected motor deficits. Of them, paresis of the flexor muscles of the foot prevailed (6.0 %). Impaired function of pelvic organs was a rare neurological disorder (2.0 %).
