Overview

Case report shows successful discectomy for lumbar disc herniation in pregnancy, highlighting spinal anesthesia's effectiveness.

Key Points

  • Discectomy under spinal anesthesia significantly relieved pain in a pregnant woman with lumbar disc herniation.
  • The Lasegue test became negative and muscular strength recovered within 2 weeks post-surgery.
  • A 35-year-old woman underwent surgery at 32 weeks pregnant after ineffective conservative treatment for pain.
  • This approach allows for effective management of lumbar disc herniation during pregnancy, enhancing maternal outcomes.
