  • Title: [Postoperative spinal canal stenosis (author's transl)].
    Author: Watanabe R, Akahoshi Y.
    Journal: Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb; 1977 Jun; 115(3):386-91. PubMed ID: 888528.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of postoperative spinal canal stenosis were presented in which compression of cauda equina was observed. The lesion was found in 5.8% of operated spinal stenosis (four out of 69 cases). One must pay attention to differentiate the lesion from the recurrence of initial disorder, because the symptoms of the postoperative spinal stenosis is no always typical but sometimes resemble to the symptoms of the initial disorder which needed the operation. Myelography is the only reliable method to decide the extent of the spinal canal stenosis.
