There is a good correlation between CT and peroperative findings and in early post-operative period quantitative analysis of fluid accumulation in hemilaminatomy and intervertebral disk space is thought to be a good predictive factor for the post-operative scar formation. We suggest that pre-operative and post-operative quantitative CT analysis of lumber disk disease not only provides diagnosis and planning of surgery but also is a good indicator to predict the possible post-operative complications.
