Objective To retrospectively analyze the clinical and imaging features of multi-segmental lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion and its treatment with the limited recessive decompression operation. Methods Twenty two patients (14 males and 8 females, aged 49-68 years) were admitted to hospital from March 1999 to March 2004. They suffered from multisegmental lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion that involved L1S1 and were treated with the limited recessive decompression operation. Results The follow-up for 4-21 months showed that 16 of the patients had an excellent outcome, 5 had a good outcome, and 1 had fair outcome. There were nosuch operative complications as nerve root lesions and putamen lesions. Conclusion The limited recessive decompression operation is one of the available good treatments for multi-segmental lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion. It solves problems of herniation and stenosis and maintains stability ofthe spine.
