Özet
Postnukleotomi sendromu ve diskotomi yapılan olguların %10 unda görülür. Büyük çoğunluğunda yakınmalar az olmakla beraber hastalarımızın 1/3 ünde iş göremezliğe ve maluliyete neden olan bulgular saptadık. Bu çalışmada postnukleotomi sendromu tanısıyla tedavi ettiğimiz 103 olgunun klinik ve radyolojik değerlendirmelerini sunduk Postnukleotomi sendromunu azaltmak için indikasyonun çok dikkatli konulması gerekir. Kanlı girişime alternatif olan yöntemler eğer indikasyon yönünden uygunsa tercih edilmelidir
