    Abstract

    Background: Fenestration discectomy and open discectomy are commonly performed surgeries for low back pain, which poses a significant health concern for patients of all ages. A key cause of low back pain is lumbar disc herniation, which forms the crux of our study. This study aims to draw a comparison between the two procedures in patients with symptomatic lumbar back pain as a function of pain levels postoperatively, and return to daily activities using the Visual Analogue Scale as a primary outcome measure, Oswestry Disability Index and other secondary outcome measures
