Abstract: Objective To explore the effects of one-step foraminoplasty technique with a Kirschner wire-guided large-diameter circular saw on lumbar disc herniation. Methods Sixty patients with lumbar disc herniation treated from January 2017 to December 2019 were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was treated by one-step foraminoplasty technique with a Kirschner wire-guided large-diameter circular saw, and the control group was treated by conventional green, yellow, and red circular saws to enlarge the intervertebral foramen in turn. The time of intervertebral foramen forming, number of fluoroscopy, operation time, and visual analogue score before and after the operation, and treatment effect of the two groups were observed and recorded. Results The experimental group showed shorter intervertebral foramen forming time, smaller number of fluoroscopy, and less operation time than the control group did (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in postoperative visual analogue score, treatment efficacy rate, and complications between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The one-step foraminoplasty with Kirschner wire-guided large-diameter circular saw is effective in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. It can reduce the forming time of intervertebral foramen and the operation time of patients, and is worthy of promotion in clinical treatment.
