[Rehabilitation after surgical therapy of herniated disk]
Abstract
The author discusses his experience in 5000 lumbar disk hernias and 400 cervical disk hernias submitted to microsurgery. The surgical technique is described only in so far as is necessary for postoperative care and results. In addition to immediate postoperative treatment, subsequent rehabilitation and reintegration are of special interest. Finally, some alternative methods are briefly discussed.
