Percutaneous diskectomy in the treatment of herniated lumbar disks.

Neuroimaging clinics of North America·2000

Percutaneous discectomy offers a minimally invasive option for herniated discs. This review updates the field and presents a novel approach to lumbar disc surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Herniated discs are a common cause of low back pain.
  • Traditional open discectomy can involve significant recovery times.
  • Percutaneous discectomy offers a less invasive alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an update on the current state of percutaneous discectomy.
  • To discuss the role of percutaneous discectomy in managing herniated discs.
  • To explore future directions and novel techniques in minimally invasive lumbar disc surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of percutaneous discectomy techniques.
  • Analysis of current clinical applications and outcomes.
  • Discussion of emerging technologies and approaches.
