title: [The fate of fat grafts used in surgery of the lumbar spine].
abstract: The fate of fat grafts thicker than 5 mm applied to prevent post-operative peridural fibrosis was followed by CT scanning between the second and fourth months and in later months in four patients treated for lumbar spinal stenosis. The CT scanning findings were verified in two patients who were operated on again. The fat grafts lost thickness and became more even. In one case, the graft had completely disappeared.
