Abstract:
Plain computed tomography scans and after intravenous contrast enhancement were used to investigate a group of 26 patients after an operation for lumbar disc herniation with signs of failed back surgery syndrome. The diagnosis of relapsing disc herniation was established in 12 patients. It was confirmed by surgery in 10, while massive epidural fibrosis was discovered in two. Own experience with the above method, which is considered by the authors the most reliable, is presented.
