Lumbar pain of scar origin

We will first recall the notion of cicatricial neuropathy.

The causes of lumbar pain of scarring origin are (non-exhaustive):

  • Lumbar spine surgery:
    • anteriorly
    • by posterior approach
  • Open abdominal surgery (Stomach, small intestine, colon, gallbladder, pancreas, liver, spleen, etc.)
  • Open renal, ureteral or adrenal surgery
  • Laparoscopic abdominal surgery (Stomach, small intestine, colon, gallbladder, pancreas, liver, spleen, etc.)
  • Kidney or ureteral or adrenal surgery by laparoscopic route
  • Open gynecological surgery or caesarean section
  • Open or laparoscopic or robotic prostate surgery
  • Wound, hematoma, burn in the lumbar region
  • Obstetric or other epidural
  • Infiltration of the lumbar spine, rhizolysis
  • Wound, hematoma, burning of the buttocks

If in doubt, if the symptoms do not correspond, you can refer to the guide to muscle pain.
