The paper reviews procedures for treatment of intervertebral disc herniation in our Department, evaluating modern scanning methods and surgical procedures. A total of 173 cases aged 13-73 years are presented. Discectomy was performed at surgery, with recent cases also embracing intervertebral spondylodesis with the use of cages to restore intervertebral distance. Short-term follow-up of patients after surgery have been very encouraging.
