Abstract

The knowledge of minimal invasive spinal surgery has increased greatly in recent years. A current issue is the hydrogel implant inserted through nucleus pulposus. In this paper we present a case in which the hydrogel implant was found to be fragmented into the spinal canal at follow up. The patient was a 40-year-old female. She was examined at another clinic because of low back pain about four months ago, and a hydrogel implant was inserted at the L5-S1 level. She was admitted to our clinic due to severe radicular pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a posterolateral annular tear only and she was explored microneurosurgically as she did not benefit from a foraminal injection. A fragmented hydrogel implant that compressed the spinal root was seen peroperatively and it was excised. Postoperatively the radicular complaints of the patient disappeared and she was discharged with total recovery. Although rare, complications causing compression of neural structures can be seen after placing implants into the disc. In this case, the assessment of the patient according to the clinical presentation and microsurgical exploration if necessary are important.

Özet

Son yıllarda minimal invaziv spinal cerrahide büyük bilgi birikimi kazanılmıştır. Güncel bir konu da nükleus içine yerleştirilen hidrojel implantlarıdır. Bu çalışmada daha önce başka bir klinikte hidrojel implantı konulan ancak takibinde implantı spinal kanala fragmante olan bir olgumuzu sunmak istedik. Kırk yaşında kadın hasta yaklaşık dört ay önce başka bir klinikte bel ağrısı nedeniyle tetkik edilmiş ve L5-S1 seviyesine hidrojel implantı konulmuş. Hastanın şiddetli radiküler ağrısı olması üzerine kliniğimize başvurdu. Sol bacağında yaklaşık 10 derecede Laseque testi müspetliği saptanan hasta tetkik edildi. Manyetik rezonans incelemesinde sadece sol L5-S1 posterolateral annuler yırtık saptanan ve foraminal enjeksiyondan rahatlamayan hasta mikroşirürjikal teknikle eksplore edildi. Peroperatif izlemde spinal kanala bası yapan fragmante hidrojel implantı görüldü ve eksize edildi. Post-operatif radiküler yakınması geçen hasta şifa ile taburcu edildi. Disk içi implant yerleştirilmesi sonrasında nadir de olsa nöral yapıları basılayabilecek komplikasyonlar görülebilmektedir. Bu durumda hastanın klinik durumuna göre değerlendirilmesi ve gerekiyorsa mikroşirurjikal olarak eksplorasyonu önemlidir.
