[Role of computed tomography in the diagnosis of complications of lumbar disk surgery].
Recurrence of symptomatology after diskectomy was investigated in 37 patients by computed tomography imaging. Local complications were mainly fibrous scar tissue formation and recurrence of disk lesions. Results showed the CT scan to be the most reliable exploratory procedure available at the present time, based on the quality of images obtained after intravenous iodized contrast injection.
