What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the DIVA® implant in patients who have undergone surgery for lumbar disc herniation. It will compare the performance of care between those who received the DIVA® implant and those who did not, focusing on reoperation rates for any cause, excluding trauma. The study is multicentric and will follow patients for at least 12 months post-surgery to gather longitudinal data on their outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults who have undergone surgery for a degenerative or traumatic mono-segmental lumbar disc herniation and have been operated on for at least 12 months.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of spinal pathologies, malformations, or previous surgeries on the spine may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into the effectiveness of the DIVA® implant, potentially improving surgical outcomes for patients with lumbar disc herniation.

How similar studies have performed: While this study is observational and focuses on a specific device, similar studies evaluating surgical outcomes with different implants have shown varying degrees of success.
