| description | Introduction. Herniated intervertebral disc is a disease that is one of the main causes of sciatica and severe, sharp back pain and usually concerns adults aged 35 to 50 years.
Aim. To evaluate the effect of surgical treatment on the quality of life in patients hospitalized and subjected to surgery due to a disk herniation in the lumbar spine.
Material and Methods. The study included 50 patients treated surgically for disc herniation in the lumbar region. The diagnostic survey method was applied for the purposes of this study with the use of the author’s questionnaire, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), the SF-36 questionnaire and VAS scale. The statistical analysis of the material has been performed using the Student t-test, Shapiro–Wilk test, Wilcoxon test and Spearman and Pearson correlation test.
Results. The analysis of the study material showed that before surgery all respondents experienced pain sensations of varying degree in the lumbar region, and after surgery 52% of patients experienced no pain in this region. The analysis of data obtained through the ODI showed that before surgery, the majority of respondents belonged to the group 3, while after the procedure they were in group 1.
Conclusions. 1) Spinal disk disease and related pain had a negative impact on social and sexual life of patients. 2) After surgery, patients experienced significantly less pain. 3) It was observed that in patients operated for a lumbar disc herniation, the degree of disability was reduced and the quality of life increased after surgery.
