文摘

A retrospective study was conducted to clarify the risk factors of postoperative low back pain (LBP) for lumbar spine disease.

Patients and Methods

A total of 401 patients who underwent lumbar operation between January 2011 and December 2011 were included in this analysis. We investigated patient characteristics and surgical approaches and also compared the radiographic characteristics.

Results

The mean visual analogue scale (VAS) score decreased dramatically after the operation. The mean preoperative VAS score was greater in patients underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with longer duration of symptoms, longer operation time, and severe lumbar multifidus (LM) intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT). The preoperative VAS score was dramatically lower in patients with lumbar herniation. The postoperative VAS score was dramatically lower in patients who underwent PLIF with longer operation time and mild LM IMAT. Postoperative LBP disappeared more often in patients who underwent PLIF with longer operation times. The number of operative levels and type of lumbar spine disease also were associated with postoperative LBP.

Conclusion

Type of surgery, operation time, number of operative level, and type of disease were risk factors for the postoperative LBP. Patients underwent PLIF with shorter symptom duration, longer operation time severe LM IMAT, and lumber spondylolisthesis reported more severe LBP before the operation. Patients underwent discectomy with shorter operation times.
