Description
Zhen Yi and five colleagues build, in a 2026 study, a prediction chart for patients whose slipped lumbar disc returns after a modern two-portal endoscopic operation. The team reviewed 257 patients treated for single-level disc herniation, of whom 24, about nine percent, suffered a recurrence. Thirty clinical and scan measures were collected for each patient.
Statistical screening distilled twelve independent risk factors for recurrence. The chart built from them separated future recurrences sharply, scoring near 0.98 in the training group and 0.95 in the check group on a standard accuracy curve. Fit checks looked clean, and decision analysis showed useful benefit across a wide risk range. The authors offer the nomogram for counseling patients before surgery and for flagging who needs closer follow-up after it.
