Minimally invasive open lumbar discectomy: An alternative to microlumbar discectomy.
BACKGROUND Lumbar disc surgery has come a long way since its fi rst description by Dandy in 1929. Evolving through the transdural approach and a laminectomy for the removal of a disc, it now surpasses the primal technique with essentially a minimally invasive procedure, an extradural approach without laminectomy. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to ascertain the effectiveness of Minim...
متن کاملRadiofrequency-Induced Intradiscal Nucleoplasty Chronic Low Back Pain Secondary To Lumbar Disc Herniation
UNLABELLED We set out to assess the efficacy of radiofrequency-induced intradiscal nucleoplasty in reducing pain in symptomatic patients with MRI-defined lumbar disc herniation and their satisfaction with the procedure. We compared the patients' pain intensity and severity of disability scores before and after undergoing the procedure in a retrospective questionnaire. These patients reported st...
متن کاملComparison of percutaneous nucleoplasty and open discectomy in patients with lumbar disc protrusions.
INTRODUCTION Coblation nucleoplasty is a minimally invasive method, at middle way between conservative and open surgical treatment of patients with degenerative disc disease and lumbar disc protrusion. Authors compare the outcome of patients treated through the two methods. MATERIAL AND RESULTS Two groups of 80 patients each were treated through open discectomy and nucleoplasty. Patients with...
متن کاملPercutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy as an Alternative to Open Lumbar Microdiscectomy for Large Lumbar Disc Herniation.
BACKGROUND Remarkable advancements in endoscopic spinal surgery have led to successful outcomes comparable to those of conventional open surgery. Large lumbar disc herniation (LLDH) is a serious condition, resulting in higher surgical failure when accessing the herniated disc. OBJECTIVES This study compared the outcomes of LLDH treated with percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) and...
متن کاملComparison of open surgical discectomy versus plasma-laser nucleoplasty in patients with single lumbar disc herniation.
BACKGROUND Intervertebral disc herniation is a major cause of low back pain. Several treatment methods are available for lumbar disc herniation including Chemonucleolysis, open surgery, nucleoplasty, laser disc decompression, and intradiscal electrothermal therapy. The high prevalence of lumbar disc herniation necessitates a minimally invasive yet effective treatment method. In this study, we c...
