Which department to see for postoperative epidural scar adhesions in the lumbar spine?

Epidural scar adhesions after lumbar spine surgery require a visit to orthopedics or spine surgery. Lumbar spine surgery belongs to the category of orthopedic or spine surgery, so its postoperative epidural scar adhesion needs to be treated by orthopedic or spine surgery. Generally, tertiary hospitals have specialized spine surgery departments, while secondary hospitals below tertiary level may not have a separate spine surgery department, so if you are in a lower level hospital, you will need to go to an orthopedic department. The causes of postoperative epidural scar adhesions in lumbar spine are many, such as postoperative traumatic reaction, local bleeding, residual fibrous ring, nucleus pulposus mechanization reaction and postoperative local bone defects. After the formation of epidural scar adhesion, it is usually difficult to be relieved by non-surgical treatment. When lumbar spine postoperative epidural scar adhesion occurs, you should go to the hospital in time, and standardize the treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
