Herniated lumbar discs are a common source of low back pain. It is estimated that each year, 87,000 Canadians require surgery to treat this condition. The procedure used to treat disc herniations is called Microdiscectomy. In this procedure, a surgeon removes the portion of the disc which is pressing on an adjacent spinal nerve. The removal of the offending disc material provides relief in 90% of patients. A consequence of the procedure is that a defect, or void, is left in the disc. This void can lead to re-herniation in 15-20% of patients, requiring a second, more complicated surgery.

腰椎间盘突出症是一种常见的下背痛的来源。据估计，每年有87，000名加拿大人需要手术来治疗这种疾病。用于治疗椎间盘突出症的程序被称为Microdiscectomy。在这个过程中，外科医生将椎间盘的压迫相邻脊神经的部分移除。90%的患者通过切除有问题的椎间盘物质得到缓解。手术的结果是在椎间盘中留下缺陷或空隙。这种空隙可能导致15-20%的患者再次疝出，需要进行第二次更复杂的手术。
