Abstract
An analysis of the effectiveness of laser vaporization in 67 patients (23 men, 44 women) with the syndrome of the “adjacent level” of the lumbarspine, who had previously undergone decompressive-stabilizing operations, is presented. The mean age of the patients was 48.3 years (from37 to 54 years).
The most common cause of pain syndrome recurrence was protrusion of the intervertebral discs (60 people, 90 %). A positive result of laservaporization in the early postoperative period was achieved in 62 patients (92.5 %). Analysis of the results of treatment in 32 patients in the interimperiod revealed excellent results in 5 (15.5 %) patients, good results – in 12 (37.5 %) patients, and satisfactory results – in 15 (47 %) patients.
