Herniation after harvesting of deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) flap is a known but not a common complication. It occurs about 2.8 to 9 % according to the literatures and can proceed to a more severe complication such as bowel obstruction. There are several factors that exacerbate the risk: surgical factors, operator factor, and patient factors. Surgical factors include large anatomical defect and denervation of related muscles. Operator factor stands for unpunctual suture technique. Patient factors represent obesity, diabetes, pulmonary disease, smoking habits, and so on. Thus, herniation might occur regardless of meticulous suture. Herein, we would like to report two cases of herniation after DCIA flap harvesting and repaired by Lichtenstein tension-free hernioplasty with literature review.

Generally, the posterolateral approach had been recommended in case of extraforaminal disc herniation or lateral stenosis but it has been speculated that this procedure may be feasible to posterolateral disc herniation at the high lumbar levels of the L1-L2 interspace. Topographically, a posterolateral approach should be able to access anteromedial side of the spinal canal without the risk of the bony instability and damage to the neural structures. During the past one year period, three patients with high lumbar discs at the L1-L2 level were treated by the modified posterolateral approach. This article describeds the details of this approach with pertinent literature review.

Decompressive craniectomy is usually performed to relieve raised intracranial pressure[ICP] caused by various intracranial lesions. A 67-year-old man presented with acute subdural hematoma and traumatic intracerebral hematoma. The patient underwent a decompressive craniectomy. Four weeks later, the patient presented with acute neurological deterioration. Brain computed tomographic[CT] scans revealed the marked concavity of the brain at the site of the craniectomy and associated with midline shift which was reversed by cranioplasty. We report an unusual case of cerebral herniation from intracranial hypotension after decompressive craniectomy for a traumatic subdural hematoma. The cranioplasty may be helpful to prevent paradoxial cerebral herniation.

Objects : This study was to report a clinical effect of Chuna Treatment for Cervical Myelopathy due to disc herniation. Methods : The patient was diagnosed as Cervical Myelopathy due to disc herniation through Cervical spine MRI and treated by cervical traction technique of Chuna Treatment with conservative management. JOA score(Japanese Orthopedic Association score), Recovery rate of Hirabayashi, VAS(Visual Analogue Scale), Dynamometer score, ROM(Range of Motion) and Motor weakness Grade were used. Results and Conclusion : JOA score, VAS, Dynamometer score, ROM and Motor weakness Grade were improved and Recovery rate was 100%.

Lumbar radiculopathy is generally caused by such well-recognized entity as lumbar disc herniation in neurosurgical practice; however rare pathologies such as thrombosed epidural varix may mimic them by causing radicular symptoms. In this case report, we present a 26-year-old man with the complaint of back and right leg pain who was operated for right L4-5 disc herniation. The lesion interpreted as an extruded disc herniation preoperatively was found to be a thrombosed epidural varix compressing the nerve root preoperatively. The nerve root was decompressed by shrinking the lesion with bipolar thermocoagulation and excision. The patient's complaints disappeared in the postoperative period. Thrombosed lumbar epidural varices may mimic lumbar disc herniations both radiologically and clinically. Therefore, must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of lumbar disc herniations. Microsurgical techniques are mandatory for the treatment of these pathologies and decompression with thermocoagulation and excision is an efficient method.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is often idiopathic. We report on a patient presenting with symptomatic intracranial hypotension and pain radiating to the right leg caused by a transdurallumbar disc herniation. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brain revealed classic signs of intracranial hypotension, and an additional spinal MR confirmed a lumbar transdural herniated disc as the cause. The patient was treated with a partial hemilaminectomy and discectomy. We were able to find the source of cerebrospinal fluid leak, and packed it with epidural glue and gelfoam. Postoperatively, the patient's headache and log radiating pain resolved and there-was no neurological deficit. Thus, in this case, lumbar disc herniation may have been a cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension.

Lumbar disc herniation in the adolescent is rare. The clinical features of adolescent lumbar disc herniation are typically different from those of adults. Many adolescent with that disease may be misdiagnosed as minor trauma, muscle sprain, tight hamstrings or scoliosis. Published series reiterate that adolescents, as opposed to adults, do not respond well to conservative treatment. In adolescent lumbar disc herniation with hamstring tightness, the neurologic defects are improved shortly after, discectomy, but the hamstring tightness continue and remain even after 1 year. Earlier discectomy and adjunct postsurgical conservative measures can provide a greater opportunity for correction and stabilization of scoliotic posture. We here report on a case of adolescent lumbar disc herniation that was misdiagnosed by knee injury during 2 years. After posterior partial discectomy, the hamstring tightness and scoliosis was disappeared without complication.

Objectives In this study, we wanted to find out the characteristics - gender, SLR test, valsalva test, duration, ESR, CRP and night pain - of lumbar disc herniation being classified as blood stasis and phlegm-retained fluid. Methods We surveyed 42 patients suffering from lumbar disc herniation using the diagnosis blood stasis syndrome, water retention syndrome of the comprehensive diagnosis of QI blood water. Blood stasis and phlegm-retained fluid are identical with blood stasis syndrome, water retention syndrome. Then we analyzed the characteristics - gender, SLR test, valsalva test, duration, ESR, CRP and night pain - of the patients suffering from lumbar disc herniation who were diagnosed as blood stasis and phlegm-retained fluid. Results Patients were sorted into two groups: 18 blood stasis patients and 30 phlegm-retained fluid patients. Gender (Woman), acute phase and night pain are related to blood stasis. Acute phase, positive of SLR test is related to phlegm-retained fluid. There was no correlation between blood stasis and SLR test, valsalva test, duration, ESR, CRP. Also no correlation between phlegm-fluid and gender, valsalva test, duration, ESR, CRP and night pain. Conclusions By Considering the characteristics - gender, SLR test, valsalva test, duration, ESR, CRP and night pain - of lumbar disc herniation patients, it can help to analyze the pattern of its symptoms.
