After adjusting for confounding factors, five surgical methods (fusion, laminectomy, open discectomy, endoscopic discectomy, and nucleolysis [including mechanical nucleus decompression]) were compared. The reoperation rate at 3 months was higher for laminectomy. Rates for the other surgical methods were similar to that of open discectomy, during the entire follow-up period.
