title: Lumbosacral liposuction. A new tool for the treatment of low back pain.
abstract: To obtain a better active contention of the lumbosacral spine, a new technique of liposuction of the fat surrounding the atrophied paraspinal muscles is described. A preliminary series of 40 patients presenting low back pain symptoms is presented. The technique, performed on an out patient basis is well tolerated.The MR follow-up controls regularly showed an expansion of the paraspinal muscles. The overall results obtained on this preliminary non uniform series showed encouraging results with 77.5% of very good or good results.
