, 6% des patients ont bénéficié d'une chirurgie après la nucléolyse discale par ozone, à 4, 6 et 16 mois, ce qui est comparable avec les taux retrouvés dans la littérature pour l'ozone (18% à 5 ans [40]) et pour les autres traitements mini-invasifs : 5-23%

, La plupart des patients bénéficiaient d'une chirurgie dans les 6 premiers mois après la nucléolyse par ozone, ce qui est concordant avec la littérature, vol.40

, Ce taux est acceptable et inférieur à celui constaté après injections épidurales de corticostéroïdes, p.25

, Complications Nous n'avons été confronté à aucune complication durant la procédure ou lors du suivi, ce qui rejoint les faibles taux reportés dans la littérature

, qui constituent la majorité des complications rapportées dans la littérature, survenues principalement lors d'injections cervicales

, Les malaises vagaux étaient évités par une utilisation adaptée d'antalgiques durant la procédure et par l'injection de petits volumes d'ozone (entre 3,5 et 10 mL

, Analyses radiologiques Diminution globale des hauteurs et des surfaces discales Dans notre étude, la tendance globale était la réduction des hauteurs et surfaces discales et herniaires, mais seule la diminution des surfaces des hernies était significative

, Les données de la littérature s'accordent sur l'effet réductionnel de l'ozone sur les volumes discaux, vol.57

, Les hernies avaient tendance à régresser dans notre étude. Le pourcentage de diminution (-19,97% en moyenne) était inférieur à celui reporté par Elawamy (53,76% à 6 mois, Ce phénomène est attendu puisque l'ozone possède des propriétés de dimensionnelles des hernies sont plus débattues dans la littérature : diminution constatée dans la plupart des cas
