    • Spine Surgery
    • Interventional Radiology

    Background:

    • Chemonucleolysis offers a minimally invasive approach to managing discogenic pain.
    • Technical challenges can impact the success of intervertebral disc puncture.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the technical feasibility and complication rate of chemonucleolysis.
    • To identify factors influencing successful intervertebral disc puncture.

    Main Methods:

    • Performed 150 chemonucleolysis procedures.
    • Utilized discography for pre-procedure assessment and needle placement verification.
    • Employed a double-needle technique for challenging anatomical variations.

    Main Results:

    • Chemonucleolysis was technically easy to perform with no reported complications in 150 cases.

  • Patient positioning was identified as the most critical factor for successful disc puncture.
  • Technical difficulties during puncture occurred in one case, leading to intervention discontinuation.

    • Conclusions:

    • Chemonucleolysis is a safe and effective procedure when performed with meticulous technique.
    • Careful patient positioning and appropriate use of diagnostic tools like discography are essential for successful chemonucleolysis.
