Percutaneous chemonucleolysis effectively treated cervical disc prolapse and associated pain in 31 patients. This minimally invasive procedure demonstrated excellent outcomes with long-term follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Cervical disc prolapse is a common cause of neck and arm pain.
  • Discoradicular pain significantly impacts patient quality of life.
  • Conservative treatments may not always provide sufficient relief.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous chemonucleolysis for cervical disc prolapse.
  • To assess treatment outcomes in patients with discoradicular pain.
  • To analyze factors influencing treatment success.

Main Methods:

  • Percutaneous chemonucleolysis was performed on 38 patients with cervical disc prolapse.
  • Detailed procedural steps and materials are described.
  • Outcomes of 31 patients with follow-up ranging from 3 to 52 months were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • The overall results of the treatment were excellent.
  • Detailed analysis revealed success rates based on symptomatology, etiology, and discography findings.
  • Enzyme dosage was also correlated with treatment outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Percutaneous chemonucleolysis is a highly effective treatment for cervical disc prolapse and discoradicular pain.
  • The procedure offers excellent outcomes with a favorable long-term safety profile.
  • Further analysis supports the optimization of enzyme dosage for improved patient results.
