Abstract:
Annulotomy is a mandatory step to perform intradiscal decompression to resolve a disco radicular conflict. However, this manoeuvre can lead to post surgical complications such as vertebral instability and back pain. Coblation assisted microdiscectomy (CAM procedure) allows a quoted removal of disc without anulus damage.
