Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Spine Procedures
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Traditional surgery for disc herniation and protrusion carries risks of infection and invasiveness.
  • Percutaneous techniques aim to reduce invasiveness and complications.
  • Vertebroplasty is utilized for vertebral compression fractures and other spinal pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review percutaneous interventional procedures for disc herniation and protrusion.
  • To discuss the principles and outcomes of vertebroplasty.

Main Methods:

  • Chemodiscolysis (chimopapain, oxygen-ozone), nucleo-discectomy, LASER discectomy, and nucleoplasty for disc herniation.
  • Percutaneous injection of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement for vertebroplasty under imaging guidance.

Main Results:

  • Success rates for chemonucleolysis and aspiration range from 65-80% for excellent or good results.
  • Vertebroplasty achieves 80-95% pain relief, often within 7 days, for vertebral collapses.

Conclusions:

  • Percutaneous techniques for disc herniation offer decompressive and anti-inflammatory benefits, minimizing surgical risks.
  • Vertebroplasty provides effective pain relief and stabilization for vertebral compression fractures and related conditions.
