Authors' objectives:
In about 10% of patients with a herniated disc surgery (discectomy) is indi-cated. However, the long-term results of discectomy are unsatisfactory. This report evaluates whether the implantation of an anular closure device (Bar-ricaid®) results in better clinical long-term outcomes than the standard discectomy.
Authors' recommendations:
Inclusion of the anular closure device Barricaid® into the hospital benefit catalogue is not recommended. The currently available evidence is not sufficient to evaluate efficacy and safety of the implantation of Barricaid® in comparison to standard discectomy. We recommend re-evaluation from 2017 onwards, after results from currently ongoing clinical studies have been published
