Abstract
Surgical operations on the spine can be accompanied by a number of complications associated with surgical access, iatrogenic neurological complications, complications associated with wound infection, and imperfect instrumentation. In this regard, not all operations lead to the expected restoration of motor function even in the initial stages of neurological disorders, and identifying the justification for routine postoperative monitoring using visual diagnostic methods (CT/MRI) in patients after spinal surgery is the main goal of this study. A sample of patients was carried out who underwent operations: ventral spondylectomy for disc extrusion, stabilization of the cervical spine for wobbler syndrome, decompression in the thoracolumbar and lumbosacral regions with and without stabilization. Thus, of the patients who underwent a control study, reoperation was required for ventral spondylectomy in 10,3 % of cases, stabilization of the cervical spine – 13,04 %, stabilization of C1-C2 – 4,1 %, hemilyaminectomy/ minihemilaminectomy in the thoracolumbar spine department – 3,5 %, hemilyaminectomy/ minihemilaminectomy in the thoracolumbar region with stabilization – 13,6 %, dorsal laminectomy L7-S1 without stabilization – 0 %, dorsal laminectomy L7-S1 with stabilization – 15,2 %.
