Conservatively treated massive prolapsed discs: a 7-year follow-up
This research investigates the natural history and recovery potential of massive lumbar disc herniations treated without surgery. By tracking patients over seven years, the study reveals that non-operative management is highly effective when early clinical progress is noted. Findings indicate that extruded disc material often shrinks significantly over time, with an average volume reduction of 64% seen on follow-up imaging. Most participants achieved a complete and sustained recovery, reporting high levels of long-term satisfaction and minimal recurrences. Ultimately, the authors conclude that conservative treatment is a safe and viable alternative to surgery, even for the largest spinal protrusions.
