than 1% of all vertebral disc operations.27 The incidence of thoracic disc–related spinal cord compression is estimated at approximately one case per million individuals per year.5 The use of computerized tomography and MR imaging has resulted in a significant increase in the detection and diagnosis of this lesion, perhaps providing more symptomatic patients expeditious treatment; however, like...
متن کاملTranspedicular approach for thoracic disc herniations.

متن کاملPercutaneous Thoracic Intervertebral Disc Nucleoplasty: Technical Notes from 3 Patients with Painful Thoracic Disc Herniations
Symptomatic thoracic disc herniation is an uncommon condition and early surgical approaches were associated with significant morbidity and even mortality. We are the first to describe the technique of percutaneous thoracic nucleoplasty in three patients with severe radicular pain due to thoracic disc herniation. Two of the patients experienced more than 75% pain relief and one patient experienc...
متن کاملThoracic disc herniations: transthoracic, lateral, or posterolateral approach? A review.
BACKGROUND The choice between transthoracic, lateral, and posterolateral approaches to excise thoracic disc herniations remains controversial. METHODS The outcome of the three approaches was compared in seven of the authors' cases and in 324 other cases reported in the literature.
