title: [Instrumental diagnosis of recurrent lumbar spine herniated discs in different observation periods].
abstract: The results of neuroimaging examination methods application in patients with true herniated disc at different time after primary discectomy were summarized. Designated structural morphological features of operated lumbar segment in early, mid and late period. The study was conducted based on a retrospective analysis of MRI and MSCT in 113 patients with recurrent herniated disc. Truth relapses at different time after the occurrence of the primary microdiscectomy with features on MRI and MSCT, combined with scar-adhesive fibrosis at various stages of its formation and varying severity stenotic changes in bone structures. MSCT is the method of choice in the early period after primary discectomy when a true recurrence combined with MRI are informative in the diagnosis of late recurrence period.
