Endovascular Management of Great Vessel Injury Following Lumbar Microdiscectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Great vessel injury is a rare but well-known complication of lumbar disc surgery, which may result in acute or fatal outcomes of delayed diagnosis. Thus, early detection and proper management is vital. The authors report a case of retroperitoneal hemorrhage with arteriovenous fistula and pseudoaneurysm after lumbar microdiscectomy. The patient was successfully managed by endovascular intervention using a stent graft. Endovascular repair is a minimally invasive and efficient treatment modality with considerably low morbidity and mortality.

BACKGROUND Lumbar microdiscectomy is the most commonly performed spinal surgery procedure, with over 300,000 cases performed annually in the United States alone. Traditionally, patients were advised to restrict post-operative activity as this was believed to reduce the risk of disc reherniation and progressive instability. However, this practice would often delay patients return to work. In con...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. INTRODUCTION Lumbar radiculopathy and claudicant leg pain are common degenerative spinal conditions often treated by elective microdiscectomy or decompression. Published outcome data for these procedures have focused on improvement in pain scores, and not on grounded functional outcome or depression scores.1,2,3 Moreover, depression is considered by many s...
متن کاملLumbar microdiscectomy and microendoscopic discectomy.
Lumbar microdiscectomy, which relies on the operating microscope for visualization, was first described in the late 1970s. This operation is considered the gold standard procedure for patients who require surgery for symptomatic lumbar disc herniation causing radiculopathy that has not improved with conservative measures. A new approach to the management of symptomatic lumbar disc herniation, m...
متن کاملUreteric injury after lumbosacral microdiscectomy: A case report and review of literature
Microdiscectomy is considered a very safe procedure with few serious complications. Ureteric injury following microdiscectomy is rarely reported in the literature. We report a rare case of iatrogenic ureteric injury following L5-S1 microdiscectomy for prolapsed intervertebral disc which was detected early and managed in time.
