title: [Intraoperative complications in lumbar intervertebral disk operations. Cooperative study of the spinal study group of the German Society of Neurosurgery].
abstract: The workshop "Wirbelsüle" of the German Society of Neurological Surgery started a cooperative study about the incidence of intraoperative complications during lumbar disc surgery. The results relate a number of 68,329 operations, among them a percentage of 2.560% of total complications, including 0.0132% with fatal ending. The highest number of complications related to the lesions of spinal structures (3.202%).
