How Likely Are You to Reherniate After a Discectomy?

A surgeon and operating room staff stand poised over a patient's bed. The surgeon is standing to the right, holding a scalpel. The photo is taken from below the patient, so we get a good view of the ceiling and its many fluorescent lights, but we can't see the patient. Everyone is wearing green scrubs, and the medical people are wearing masks.
Not this again!

After reading a certain number of social media posts from people who are terrified they’ve reherniated, I started to wonder: just how often do discs reherniate after a discectomy?
