Lumbar discectomy--percentage of disc removal and detection of anterior annulus perforation.
A prospective study was carried out to estimate the percentage of disc removal at the time of lumbar laminectomy and discectomy. Intraoperative discograms were obtained which afforded a method of calculating the percentage of disc removal. The technique permits localization of the level of discectomy and provides a means of detecting anterior annulus perforation intraoperatively, which we hope will reduce the morbidity of anterior annulus perforation. A comparison between the efficacy of disc removal (microdiscectomy vs. laminectomy) is also presented.

Histopathologic effects of transarterial bucrylate occlusion of intracerebral arteries in mongrel dogs.
Bucrylate was injected directly into the cerebral cortical arteries of mongrel dogs. Preparations for light and electron microscopy were obtained from 5 min to 5 months after the introduction of the polymer. A mixed pattern of damage to arterial endothelium was seen, including electron microscopic documentation of stripping away of the endothelium. Acute effects include a subocclusive thrombogenic matrix, which causes partial or complete thrombosis. The long-term reactions are those of a chronic inflammatory response to a foreign body.
