Operating on this type of herniation is known to come with more difficulties than on the frequently seen paramedian lumbar disc herniation (PLDH). However, no comparative data are available on the effectiveness and safety of this operation. We sought out to compare clinical outcomes at 1\u00a0year following surgery for ELDH and PLDH.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Data were collected through the Norwegian Registry for Spine Surgery (NORspine). The primary outcome measure was change at 1\u00a0year in the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).
