Eine prospektive randomisierte Studie zur Beeinflussung der Beschwerden nach lumbaler Diskotomie durch intraoperative Cortisonapplikation in die Wurzeltaschen sowie in den Periduralraum

In a prospective, randomised study 35 patients suffering from lumbar vertebral disc herniation were given an intrathecal and peridural injection of 0.5 ml (= 10 mg) Triamcinolone hexacetonide. The postoperative course of the disorder was compared with that of 35 patients operated on the same manner, however, without medication. It was established that the intraoperative administration of Triamcinolonhexacetonid had no statistically significant influence on the results of the operations.
