Percutaneous discectomy demonstrates a high success rate of approximately 75% for spinal disc issues. This minimally invasive procedure shows sustained positive outcomes and a low complication rate, making it an effective treatment option.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Degenerative disc disease is a common cause of back pain.
  • Percutaneous discectomy offers a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous discectomy.
  • To assess long-term outcomes and complication rates.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 234 patients undergoing percutaneous discectomy.
  • Follow-up duration ranged from 11 months to over 3 years.
  • Subgroup analysis for patients with low back pain only.

Main Results:

  • Overall success rate of approximately 75% was observed.

  • Consistent positive clinical results were maintained up to 24 months in a subgroup.
  • A high success rate of 85.7% was achieved in patients with low back pain.

    • Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous discectomy is an effective treatment for selected spinal disc conditions.
    • The procedure offers a favorable safety profile with a low complication rate.
    • Sustained good clinical outcomes support its use in managing back pain.
