    Area of Science:

    • Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
    • Interventional Pain Management
    • Spinal Anatomy and Pathology

    Context:

    • Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition often stemming from lumbar disc protrusion.
    • Treatment options for LBP range from conservative care to surgical interventions.
    • Disc herniation classification (protrusion, extrusion, sequestration) guides therapeutic decisions.

    Purpose:

    • To describe Nucleoplasty (disc Coblation) as a percutaneous surgical treatment for discogenic back pain and radicular pain.
    • To highlight the mechanism of action: reducing disc volume using radiofrequency energy.
    • To discuss the indications, benefits, and current controversies surrounding Nucleoplasty.

    Summary:

    • Nucleoplasty is a percutaneous surgical technique utilizing radiofrequency energy to reduce disc volume, effectively treating discogenic back pain and radicular pain.
    • The procedure is indicated for contained disc herniations with an intact annulus fibrosus, unresponsive to conservative treatment, and without cauda equina syndrome.
    • Its rising popularity is attributed to its minimally invasive nature, low complication rates, and facilitation of a rapid return to daily activities.

    Impact:

    • Nucleoplasty offers a less invasive alternative for managing specific types of lumbar disc herniations.
    • The procedure demonstrates potential for symptom improvement and faster patient recovery compared to traditional open surgeries.
    • Further research is needed to fully evaluate long-term outcomes and optimize patient selection for Nucleoplasty.
