Health-Related Quality-of-Life Outcomes in Surgical Patients With Sacral Tarlov Cysts: A 2-Year Prospective Study
This study, to our knowledge, is the first to demonstrate significant improvement in patients surgically treated for Tarlov cysts using general and disease-specific health-related quality-of-life scales for 2 years after surgery. Our results suggest that patients may continue to improve for up to 2 years after surgery in some domains.
