Implication

Retrospective analysis shows no significant difference in re-operation rates for disc herniation in patients with discography, suggesting safety of the procedure.

Key Points

Re-operation rates for disc-related pain were similar, at 10.2% for discography and 8.3% without.
Body mass index showed no association with subsequent surgery, emphasizing discography safety.
Assessment included 244 discs that received discography and 122 that did not, analyzed over an average of 152.9 months.
Findings suggest that discography does not contribute to injury in normal discs, providing reassurance for clinical practice.
