The VAS scores were significantly decreased 1 day after surgery and remained low at the 3-month and 1-year follow-ups. The Oswestry Disability Index was also significantly lower at the 3-month and 1-year follow-ups. Ninety-four percent of patients rated the results as \u201cexcellent\u201d or \u201cgood\u201d according to the modified Macnab criteria at the 3-month follow-up. The patients developed few postoperative complications and no recurrence during 1 year of follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
