Evaluation of the optimal pre-emptive dose of gabapentin for postoperative pain relief after lumbar
diskectomy: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
The 1-year rate of reoperation for recurrent stenosis in SPORT was just 1.3%, versus reoperation rates of around 10% in studies of
diskectomy for low back pain from a herniated disk.
CYRIL RABEN PER-FORMED A CERVICAL
DISKECTOMY AND FUSION SURGERY ON THERESA PAULINO'S SPINE.
The most common surgical options include
diskectomy, during which the herniated portion of the disk is removed, and fusion, in which the problematic disk is removed and the vertebrae are permanently connected to one another.
Among the specific topics are surgical indications and approach for managing cervical facet fractures, repeat
diskectomy versus fusion for recurrent lumbar disk herniation, indications and efficacy of rigid versus dynamic cervical plants, and the use of prophylactic antibiotics in spine surgery.
However, if surgery is needed, a
diskectomy may be recommended to remove the part of the disk that is pressing on the nerve.
However, some patients are treated with a surgical procedure known as a
diskectomy.
A 63-year-old female with a history of spondylolisthesis underwent L4-L5
diskectomy and facetectomy with cage placement for back and leg pain.
The patient was transferred to the operating room for corpectomy and
diskectomy with decompression and irrigation with vancomycin saline.
Duropleural fistula manifested as a large pleural transudate: an unusual complication of transthoracic
diskectomy. Chest 1998; 114:1786-1789.
