Epidural fibrosis is a major cause of postlaminectomy syndrome or "failed back surgery syndrome," which may occur after spinal surgical interventions. It reduces the quality of life, and is characterized by persistent back/low back pain and radicular leg pain. The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the efficacy of locally applied batimastat after laminectomy in preventing postoperative epidural fibrosis.
