Abstract
The paper presents the experience of surgical treatment of 58 patients with discogenic lumbosacral radiculitis.
The aim of the surgical treatment was to eliminate the compression of the spinal roots of the herniated disc with the subsequent stabilization of the spinal-motor segment with implantable interspinous system COFLEX.
Indications for surgical treatment were persistent radicular pain syndrome, which was not stopped by conservative methods of treatment, and disco-radicular conflict in the area of the interested vertebral-motor segment, confirmed by radiation research methods. In the diagnosis, the following research methods were used: clinical and neurological examination, survey and functional spondylography of the lumbar spine, computed tomography with contrast myelography, morphometric and statistical methods. The effectiveness of treatment was evaluated in 49 patients (84 % of operated) one and a half years after surgery. All patients showed complete regression of neurological deficit and satisfactory standing of the implanted interstitial dynamic system COFLEX in the operated vertebral-motor segment. Thus, the use of the implantable COFLEX dynamic system for the above indications is the choice method for operating surgeons, in which it is assumed that the function of the interested vertebral-motor segment is preserved.
