Title: [Vascular complications of lumbar disk surgery]. Author: Lacombe M. Journal: Ann Chir; 2006 Dec; 131(10):583-9. PubMed ID: 16872577. Abstract: Vascular complications of lumbar disc surgery are rare (about 0,04% of discectomies) but very severe.

These lesions are often unrecognised during the operation and they are sometimes identified several years after the injury. The treatment is mainly surgical but percutaneous endovascular treatment has been recently performed successfully in several patients.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
