This is a follow-up study of the DIVA® device, a spinal implant used during surgery to treat lumbar disc herniation (a slipped disc in the lower back). Researchers are tracking patients who had this surgery at least 12 months ago to compare those who received the DIVA® implant with those who did not. The main goal is to see whether patients need another back surgery later on, which would help doctors understand how well the implant works over time.
After spine surgery for a slipped disc, some patients need another operation. Doctors want to understand whether this new implant reduces the need for repeat surgery compared to surgery without the implant, so they can make better recommendations for future patients.

If you join this study, researchers will review your medical records and surgical history to gather information about your recovery and any complications since your back surgery. You do not need to undergo new procedures or return for extra visits—the study simply collects data from your existing medical records. This is a long-term follow-up to understand how well the implant is working and whether you needed any additional spine surgery.
