This is a critical abstract of an economic evaluation that meets the criteria for inclusion on NHS EED. Each abstract contains a brief summary of the methods, the results and conclusions followed by a detailed critical assessment on the reliability of the study and the conclusions drawn. It was demonstrated that, within the restrictions imposed by the data set, APLD was less cost-effective, and less effective clinically than microdiscectomy.
