Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age 18-70 years 2. Patients with radicular pain in the lower extremities (visual analog scale score =4) with or without low back pain, and confirmed by MRI to have a single-segment lumbar disc herniation at L3-L4, L4-L5, or L5-S1. 3. These signs include evidence of nerve root compression, manifested as positive nerve root tension signs (straight leg raise test or femoral tension sign) or corresponding signs of neurological deficits (asymmetric diminished tendon reflexes, sensory impairment in dermatome distribution areas, or weakness in myomesa distribution areas). 4. Imaging results showing that the segment and side of the LDH are consistent with the patient's radicular signs or symptoms. 5. Signed informed consent form, able to accurately read and understand it, or able to read and understand the informed consent form and follow-up questionnaire with family members present. 6. Able to and agree to fully comply with the clinical protocol and willing to adhere to the follow-up schedule and requirements.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Under 18 years of age or over 70 years of age 2. Ineffective conservative treatment 3. Cauda equina syndrome or progressive neurological deficits requiring urgent surgical intervention 4. Inability to undergo baseline and/or follow-up MRI or X-ray examinations as required 5. LDH combined with other spinal conditions requiring advanced surgery (e.g., lumbar spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, deformity, fracture, infection, tumor, etc.) 6. Other spinal conditions (e.g., spinal infection, ankylosing spondylitis, other inflammatory spondylitis, spinal tumor, spinal trauma) 7. >= 2 responsible segments; high-grade free disc herniation 8. Presence or history of any other neurological or vascular disease of the leg that may interfere with the study evaluation 9. Cognitive and psychological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, intellectual disability, or substance abuse) 10. Other conditions deemed unsuitable for participation in the study by the surgeon
