Nucleoplasty – General Overview

چکیده
The management of disc protrusion is multidisciplinary. In the midway between conservative treatment and open surgery are minimal invasive procedures. Nucleoplasty is a new treatment of discogenic leg pain using bipolar radiofrequency device for vaporising a small volume of nucleus pulposus. Percutaneous removal of nuclear tissue is thought to lower nuclear pressure, thereby reducing nerve root tension and allowing retraction of the protrusion. Causes of discogenic pain are discussed. Indications of the procedure and surgical technique and the literature results are presented.

متن کاملNucleoplasty, a minimally invasive procedure for disc decompression: a systematic review and meta-analysis of published clinical studies.
BACKGROUND Nucleoplasty, based on Coblation® technology, is a minimally invasive procedure used to decompress herniated discs. Reviews to date--exclusively systematic reviews--recommend nucleoplasty for treating chronic back pain, although with the restriction of limited to fair evidence. We therefore aimed to summarize and interpret our calculated results, where possible comprehensively and qu...
متن کاملDifferential treatment of nerve root compression pain caused by lumbar disc herniation applying nucleoplasty.
BACKGROUND Nucleoplasty is a minimally invasive intervention use to perform disc decompression in cases of nerve root compression caused by disc herniation. It is important to find rational guidelines for choosing between nucleoplasty and microsurgery. OBJECTIVE To analyze factors that may impact the results of nucleoplasty, and to validate the rational guidelines between minimally invasive t...
