The comprehensive surgical treatment of patients with degenerative lesions of the lumbosacral spine

: On the basis of a complex analysis of surgical treatment of 52 patients with degenerative diseases of the lumbosacral part of the spine complicated by the formation of compressive reticulopathies main states were established responsible for the worse quality of life of this category of patients. Different forms of vertebrogenic radiculopathies were determined according to the morphological substrate of compression. The methods of diagnosing the spinal diseases at the lumbosacral level were estimated and the diagnostic algorithms for different variants of degenerative lesions were developed. Rational schemes of surgical correction are proposed according to the established groups of vertebrogenic lumbosacral radiculopathies. Special attention is given to prophylactics of recurrences of the pain syndrome and postoperative instability of the spine.
