A study of 1,427 case records permitted the authors to discover 10 cases of reoperation for sciatica which appeared on the opposite side after removal of a dischernia. A new hernia was noted in 6 cases, whereas radiculitis of unknown origin, appeared to be responsible in 4 cases. The 10 patients who became cured, either after removal of the hernia, or after decompression through the foramin. These few cases, in fact rare, may be considered as relapses and thus poor surgical results. The provide a contribution to the understanding of intervertebral disc disease and raise an interesting medico-legal problem.

A classification of changes in the inferior lumbar portion of the spine that cause radicular pain and symptoms not amenable to concervative therapy is given. In most cases the said changes can be educed through a clinico-roentgenological investigation. Anatomical data bear proof to the presence of structural variants in which, in case of an intercurrent osteochondrosis without hernia of the disc, the compression of the root becomes quite probable. The classification lists changes that should be looked for when no hernia of the disc could be detected and lays emphasis on the multiplicity of causes accounting for the emergence of vertebrogenic radiculitis.

The puncture laser discectomy was conducted in 273 patients with discogenic lumbosacral radiculitis while the conservative therapy inefficacy, pain syndrome in a lumbago stage present and lumboischialgia with absent prominent locomotive disorders and if the intervertebral disc hernia has the size up to 0.6 cm.

Using a novel diagnostic technology that allows to investigate the structure of a biological fluid formed during its phase transition into a dried film, we revealed a cause of mistaken results of protein concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with discogenic radiculitis. The traditional laboratory study does not reveal the elevated content of protein in patients with discogenic radiculitis and hernia of invertebral discs due to its more active binding with salts with the following sedimentation during centrifugation. It can be explained by the involvement of salt crystals in the formation of the inert organic-mineral aggregate with protein molecules which structure was changed by dystrophy, ischemia, hypoxia, mechanic damage, tumor process. The aggregate is characterized by abnormally tight links. This phenomenon is known as biomineralization, the universal mechanism preventing the organism from toxic effects of products of degraded tissues.
