✓ The operative results of 63 cases of lumbar disc disease with surgically confirmed conjoined nerve roots are reviewed. The first 55 patients were treated by standard hemilaminectomy and discectomy, with only 30% reporting a good result. Of the last eight patients treated by hemilaminectomy, pediculectomy, and discectomy, seven patients returned to work. The rationale for and the technique of pediculectomy are discussed in detail. Clinical, radiological, and surgical clues indicating the presence of the conjoined nerve root anomaly are reviewed.

Abstract In a case of “conjoined” nerve roots with herniated nucleus pulposus, the computed tomographic findings were inconclusive, if not misleading. Myelography alone was also not definitive. Correlation of these two studies allowed a successful surgical approach.
