Özet

AIM: Failed back surgery syndrome is observed in 15% of patients who have undergone surgery for lumbar disk hernia. Excess epidural fibrosis is the etiology in 24% of FBSS cases. This study was conducted with the belief that the antiproliferative effect of temozolomide can prevent epidural fibrosis.
