Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated how being overweight or obese affects recovery after lumbar microdiscectomy for radiculopathy, focusing on pain, disability, and complications over 12 months.
  • All BMI groups (normal, overweight, obese) showed significant improvements in pain and disability, with no major differences except obese patients had slightly higher back pain, though not clinically significant.
  • The findings suggest that while patients of different weight categories improve after surgery, BMI may influence certain pain outcomes, but overall, overweight and obese patients recover comparably to normal weight patients.]
