Second publication for Hoogland and co-authors in SPINE JOURNAL
The most important journal for the study of the spine will publish re-operation paper
Endoscopic Transforaminal Discectomy for Recurrent Lumbar Disc Herniation
Dr. Hoogland´s newest paper titled "Endoscopic Transforaminal Discectomy for Recurrent Lumbar Disc Herniation" has been accepted for publication by the most important professional journal concerning spine disease, the "SPINE JOURNAL" - An international journal for the study of the spine von Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
The paper discusses the results of 262 patients, who had to undergo a second operation due to a recurrent lumbar disc herniation during the years 1994 and 2002. The publication shows a significant advantage of endoscopy in comparisson to other surgical techniques when it comes to re-surgery. Low in risk and complications, this minimal invasive method produces only little scarring in the operated area enabling a successful second approach with the same or different surgical method.
The SPINE Journal congratulated Dr. Hoogland and his co-authors Dr. Karolien van den Brekel-Dijkstra (Japan) and Boris Miklitz (both Alpha Klinik) to an "important body of work".
Further information will be posted, as soon as a publication date has been released.
