Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1992, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
During the period of 1984-1993, 16 cases of multi-level lumbal spinal stenosis and 257 cases of multi-level lum-bal disc disease were operated. Two cases vvith multi-level lumbar disc disease were operated by automated per-cutaneous nucleotomy and 27 of them were by percutaneous laser nucleotomy. Preoperatively, instability was seen in seven cases and two of them were operated by spinal instrumentation and five of them by interbody fusion with autolog bone graft. İn the other cases neither instrumentation, nor interbody fusion were used. Nineteen cases underwent re-operation because of fibrosis, recurrensis or new disc disease at another level. None of the cases un-den/vent re-operation because of instability.
