Abstract:[Objective] To evaluate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID) combined with intervertebral implantation of platelet-rich plasma capsule for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). [Methods] A retrospective study was performed on 87 patients who received PEID for LDH from March 2018 to February 2020. According to the preoperative doctor-patient communication, 45 patients received PEID combined with PRP capsule (the PRP group), while other 42 patients received PEID alone (the nonPRP group). By propensity score matching (PSM), 30 patients in the PRP group and 30 patients in the non-PRP were included in this study. The perioperative period, follow-up and imaging data of the two groups were compared. [Results] There were no significant differences in operation time, total incision length, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, walking time, incision healing grade and hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). The follow-up period lasted for (27.2±2.0) months on a mean, and there was no significant difference in time to resume full weight-bearing activity between the two groups (P>0.05). The VASs, ODI and JOA score were significantly improved over time in both groups (P<0.05). At 6 months postoperatively, the PRP group proved significantly superior to the non-PRP group in terms of low back pain VAS [(1.9 ±0.8) vs (2.5±0.8), P<0.05], leg pain VAS [(2.6±0.9) vs (3.1± 0.9), P<0.05], ODI [(24.5± 8.0) vs (29.5± 8.3), P< 0.05] and JOA score [(22.2±2.2) vs (21.0±2.1), P<0.05]. Radiographically, the dural sac cross-sectional surface area (DCSA), disc height index (DHI), and signal intensity ratio (SIR) between nucleus pulposus and cerebrospinal fluid were significantly improved in both group over time (P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the PRP group were significantly better than non-PRPgroup in terms of DCSA [(215.6±12.9) mm2 vs (208.3±13.2) mm2 , P=0.034], Pfirrmann grade of disc degeneration [I/II/III/IV/V, (0/0/23/7/0) vs (0/0/15/11/4), P=0.037], and SIR [(24.6± 2.3)% vs (23.0±3.3)%, P=0.033]. [Conclusion] The PEID combined with PRP capsule is effective and safe in the treatment of LDH, and might delay the degeneration of intervertebral disc to a certain extent.
