[The etiology of lumbago after surgical treatment of lumbar intervertebral disk prolapse].

Three patients are reported in whom on days 10-14 after the operation for lumbar intervertebral disc prolapse symptoms of lumbago developed. In all cases radiological examination revealed signs characteristic for spondylodiscitis. The analysis of these cases and other ones collected from the literature suggested the conclusion that spondylodiscitis occurring after operations for lumbar disc prolapse is a self-limiting infection in the development of which a role may be played, apart from bacterial factors also by immunological mechanisms.
