Abstract

Many methods are used to evaluate the state of lumbar spine after surgery. The current neuroimaging tool of choice is Gd-enhanced MR-imaging for postdisceсtomy recurrent symptoms investigation. To recognize postoperative pathological changes the doctor must be familiar with changes appropriate for early and late phases of postoperative period.
