The present study was conducted to evaluate the results of single-level discectomy by fenestration method in Lumbar disc prolapse.
Materials and Methods: Total thirty cases of lumber disc prolapsed treated with fenestration and discectomy satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria treated in the Facility based tertiary care centre department of Orthopedics of Dr. S.
