简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical presentation and management strategies of seroma formation following posterior lumbar spine decompression.
详细描述
Posterior lumbar spine decompression is a widely employed surgical approach to alleviate neural element compression due to degenerative spinal conditions such as spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and disc herniation. While generally effective in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life, this procedure is not without risk.
Seroma formation, in particular, may follow posterior decompressive surgery or fusion and is thought to arise from the accumulation of lymphatic or serous fluid in the dead space created by tissue dissection.
