Abstract
Progressive epidural imaging after adhesiolysis suggested that pain was caused by re-adhesion around the nerve root. Since re-adhesion of the nerve root required some time, the effect of adhesiolysis was maintained for extended periods in these cases. We suggest that epiduroscopic adhesiolysis is an effective therapy for FBSS patients, and that adhesiolysis of the nerve root may exhibit the long-term (24 weeks) efficacy in patients with pain.
