In 86% of observation the lumbar diskogenic radiculitis conflict is the cause of lumbosacral pain. Removal of herniated intervertebral discs at the lumbar level is the most frequently performed and planned operation in all neu¬rosurgical hospitals in our country and abroad. During the many years, the microdiscectomia was the optimal method of treatment of the discogenic radiculitis and assumed as a the concept of the “Gold standard”. However, popularization of the endoscopic and puncture techniques in the surgery of herniated intervertebral discs force specialists to reconsider this concept.
