Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Surgery
  • Microsurgery

Context:

  • Nerve root cysts, particularly in the lumbo-sacral spine, can cause significant pain and neurological deficits.
  • Therapeutic options for symptomatic nerve root cysts are debated, with surgical excision and cyst drainage being primary considerations.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of microsurgical excision of sacral nerve root cysts combined with duraplasty.
  • To assess the outcomes of this surgical technique in patients presenting with pain and neurological deficits.

Summary:

  • Thirteen patients with symptomatic sacral nerve root cysts underwent microsurgical excision and duraplasty.
  • Postoperative results showed significant improvement in pain and neurological deficits, with 85% achieving full recovery.
