Surgery and postsurgical management of the patient with low back pain
Abstract:
The role of surgery in the care of back pain and sciatica is discussed. Surgery's role in this case is relatively minor considering the overall problems of back disorders. The history, signs, and symptoms of various diagnostic categories are reviewed. Factors in deciding on the need for surgical care are analyzed. An algorithm that displays the diagnostic approach as well as various treatment plans helps in the decision-making process. Various exercise programs for postsurgical care are outlined. Details of the surgical procedures are also presented to explain the degree of tissue damage created by surgery itself.
