Far-lateral disk herniation: treatment by automated percutaneous diskectomy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automated percutaneous diskectomy has certain advantages over other surgical approaches to the treatment of far-lateral disk herniation; primarily, the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia without soft-tissue disruption. We describe four patients with far-lateral herniations who were successfully treated with the procedure.

A Modified Approach of Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (PELD) for Far Lateral Disc Herniation at L5-S1 with Foot Drop
Foraminal or extraforaminal Far Lateral Disc Herniations (FLDH) extending into or beyond the foraminal zone have been recognized as between 7-12% of all lumbosacral disc herniations. Conventional posterior laminectomy may not provide good access to a herniation that lies far lateral to the lateral margin of the pedicle. Use of the endoscopic technique through a percutaneous approach to treat su...

Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) is a minimally invasive technique to treat lumbar disk herniation from a lateral approach. Performed under local anesthesia, the incision size for PTED is around 8 mm with no paraspinal muscle cutting or detachment from their insertion. PTED has been associated with less blood loss, faster rehabilitation, and less scarring of tissue than ...

UNLABELLED The technique of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discetomy (PELD) in the transforaminal approach has evolved over the years due to the advances in endoscopic photology and instrumentation and become the most popular technique for lumbar disc herniation. Although PELD offers many advantages, the indications of PELD are limited mostly to non-migrated or low-migrated disc herniation. It ...

Forty-eight patients had 50 extraforaminal disk herniations (EFDHs) demonstrated on CT and/or MR by (1) presence of disk density or disk signal material lateral to the neural foramen, (2) displacement or obliteration of paravertebral fat, and (3) nerve root or ganglion compression or displacement. Forty-one of 50 EFDHs had a coexisting intraforaminal component; nine of 50 had an isolated far la...

Far lateral lumbar intervertebral disk herniation (FLLIDH) most commonly occurs far lateral to the intervertebral facet at L3-L4 and L4-L5 and accounts for 3.8% of all lumbar disk herniations. Traditional surgery for FLLIDH involves massive surgical trauma, damage to the spinal structure, and instability of the lumbar spine. The goals of this study were to perform a systematic review of the lit...
