Post lumbar laminectomy syndrome with its resultant chronic low back pain is estimated to occur in 20% to 50% of the patients. Among various procedures available, lysis of epidural adhesions is considered as one of the effective therapeutic modalities of management in these patients, and may be performed either non-endoscopically or endoscopically. This retrospective evaluation included 120 post lumbar laminectomy patients who underwent either non-endoscopic adhesiolysis (Group I) or endoscopic…

Laminectomy performed in primary surgery could be detected as the only factor leading to a higher rate of revisions, and a trend toward poor results after recurrent disc surgery seems to be fateful because of the development of epidural fibrosis and instability.

Favorable outcome was associated with a history of good results from previous operations, with the absence of epidural scar requiring surgical lysis, with employment before surgery, and with predominance of radicular (as opposed to axial) pain.

In patients with recurrent sciatica, perineural fibrosis and recurrent herniation were the most common problems; those patients with the latter pathologic condition responded most favorably to repeat surgery.

Narrowing of the disc space was present radiographically in 98 per cent of the patients, but the amount of narrowing did not correlate with the degree of low-back pain, the age of the patient, or the length of time after operation.

Epidurography might confirm epidural filling defects for contrast dye in the patients with epidural fibrosis, and a more direct visualization of the resulting functional changes after adhesiolysis as with epiduroscopy might be useful.
