We examined the rates of postoperative complications and mortality, as recorded in a hospital discharge registry for State Washington years 1986 through 1988, patients who had an operation on lumbar spine. When malignant lesion, infection, or fracture are excluded, there were 18,122 hospitalizations procedures spine, 84 per cent which involved herniated disc spinal stenosis. The morbidity mortality during hospitalization, well charges, increased with ages patients. rate was 18 seventy-five...
In Brief Study Design. Clinical practice guideline. Objective. To develop evidence-based recommendations on use of interventional diagnostic tests and therapies, surgeries, interdisciplinary rehabilitation for low back pain any duration, with or without leg pain. Summary Background Data. Management patients persistent disabling remains a clinical challenge. A number therapies surgery are available their is increasing, but in some cases utility uncertain controversial. Interdisciplinary has...
The radicular pain of sciatica was ascribed by Mixter and Barr to compression the spinal root a herniated intervertebral disc. It assumed that produced prolonged firing in injured sensory fibers led perceived peripheral distribution those fibers. This concept has been challenged on basis acute nerve neuropathies are usually painless. Furthermore, animal experiments have rarely shown more than several seconds repetitive acutely compressed nerves or roots. suggested "radicular pain" is...
✓ A total of 93 patients with intractable spasticity due to either spinal cord injury (59 cases), multiple sclerosis (31 or other pathology (three cases) were entered into a randomized double-blind placebocontrolled screening protocol intrathecal baclofen test injections. Of the 88 who responded an bolus 50, 75, 100 µg baclofen, 75 underwent implantation programmable pump system for chronic therapy. Patients followed 5 41 months after surgery (mean 19 months). No deaths new permanent...

T HE study of focal cortical epilepsy has led us to the belief that epileptic neurons are partially deafferentY The validity this hypothesis been demonstrated in cat spinal cord where rhizotomy or hemi-cordotomy result neuronal firing patterns similar those seen an focus. 1 Other work our laboratories shown certain epileptogenic agents, when injected into cat, can produce unusual sensory states suggestive pain and typical epilepsy? It is many central occur after nerve injury may be due...
For many medical professionals dealing with patients persistent pain following spine surgery, the term Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) as a diagnostic label is inadequate, misleading, and potentially troublesome. It misrepresents causation. Alternative terms have been suggested, but none has replaced FBSS. The International Association for Study of Pain (IASP) published revised classification chronic pain, part new Classification Diseases (ICD-11), which accepted by World Health...
The authors have routinely performed primary autologous cranioplasty to repair skull defects after decompressive craniectomy. high rates of subsequent bone resorption occurring in children prompted this study.In an institutional review, the identified 40 (32 male and eight female) adolescents ranging from 4 months 19 years age whom was defect surface area ranged 14 147 cm2. In all cases, fresh frozen at time decompression. Symptomatic subsequently occurred 20 (50%) reoperation required....
Low back pain is common, but a herniated intervertebral disk the cause in only small percentage of cases. Most symptomatic herniations result clinical manifestations (pain, reflex loss, muscle weakness) that resolve with conservative therapy, and 5% to 10% patients require surgery. Sciatica usually first clue herniation, sciatica may be mimicked by other disorders radiating pain. Because more than 95% lumbar occur at L4-5 or L5-S1 levels, physical examination should focus on abnormalities L5...
Regional variations in lumbar spinal fusion rates suggest a poor consensus on surgical indications. Therefore, complications, costs, and reoperation were compared for elderly patients undergoing surgery with or without fusion. Subjects Medicare recipients who underwent 1985, 4 years of subsequent follow-up. There 27,111 eligible patients, whom 5.6% had fusions. Mean age was 72 years. Patients complication rate 1.9 times greater than those The blood transfusion 5.8 greater, nursing home...
