Early Onset of Guillain–Barré Syndrome Following Lumbar Disc Herniation Surgery: An Unexpected Clinical Evolution

2021

Letter: Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), is a neurologic complication rarely reported following a spinal surgery procedure.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 GBS is a potentially fatal, immune-mediated disease of the peripheral nerves and nerve roots that is usually triggered by infections. It is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis, with an annual global incidence of approximately 1–2 per 100,000 person-years.7 Although the clinical presentation of the disease is heterogeneous, patients typically present with weakness and sensory signs in the legs that progress to the arms and cranial muscles. Disease progression can be rapid in approximately 20% of patients with respiratory failure requiring mech…

Recurrent lumbar disc herniation: Is there a correlation with the surgical technique? A multivariate analysis

2019

Purpose: The recurrence of a lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common cause of poor outcome following lumbar discectomy. The aim of this study was to assess a potential relationship between the incidence of recurrent LDH and the surgical technique used. Furthermore, we tried to define the best surgical technique for the treatment of recurrent LDH to limit subsequent recurrences. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 979 consecutive patients treated for LDH. A multivariate analysis tried to identify a possible correlation between (1) the surgical technique used to treat the primary LDH and its recurrence; (2) technique used to treat the recurrence of LDH and the secon…
