Abstract

Introduction: The number of reoperations increases with the growing number of operations performed.

Methods: The clinical material included a group of 2194 patients treated surgically due to degenerative disease of the lumbar spine; we selected a total of 332 patients who were reoperated, and the indications for reoperation were analysed.

Results: The percentage of patients operated due to adjacent segment disease in the group of patients with stabilization was on average 8.9%.

Conclusions: Indications for stabilizing or preservation of the mobility of the operated segment should provide for the nature of the lesions, and anatomical and surgical conditions.

Keywords: adjacent segment disease; recurrent disc herniation; reoperations.
