The 'yellow ligament' or ligamentum flavum, which surrounds the posterior part of spinal cord, is an essential tissue that needs to be preserved during surgery using the microdiscectomy technique. Preserving the yellow ligament can be compared to using the door of the room that the surgeon enters. Preserving this ligament with the microdiscectomy technique prevents the formation of minimal adhesions around the nerves. Preserving the yellow ligament minimizes adhesions around the nerves after surgery, reducing the likelihood of recurring disc herniation.

Measuring the amount of healing tissue developed after surgery can be an important criterion for evaluating future surgical outcomes. Preserving the yellow ligament with microdiscectomy affects the healing in the surgical area by minimizing potential adhesions. Scientifically proven advantages of preserving the yellow ligament in patients undergoing surgery with this method have been demonstrated through various studies. Ongoing research to evaluate long-term results will further highlight the effectiveness and benefits of microdiscectomy. This technique developed and applied by Yunus Aydın and preliminary results has published.

These findings emphasize the importance of the microdiscectomy technique, allowing surgery to be performed more effectively and patient-friendly. Future studies and experiences will further solidify the successes achieved with this technique, improving surgical outcomes.
