The Benefits of Spinal Decompression by Rich Smith

چکیده
Endoscopic discectomy entails use of an imaging-guided probe inserted between the vertebrae and into the herniated disc space. Microsurgical attachments routed through the endoscope remove a portion of the nucleus tissue of the compromised disc; the amount excised depends on various circumstances but never affects the disc’s support structure. It is also possible to use the instrument to manipulate a distorted disc back into place or to purge fragmented disc material and bone spurs.
