Comparison of results of 500 microdiscectomies and 500 percutaneous laser disc decompression procedures for lumbar disc herniation.
OBJECTIVE This article aimed to analyze the neurosurgical results of 500 patients treated with microdiscectomies and 500 patients treated with percutaneous laser disc decompression. BACKGROUND DATA It has been suggested in the literature that percutaneous laser disc decompression might be considered a serious and valid alternative to microdiscectomy in the treatment of patients with discogeni...
متن کاملPercutaneous laser disc decompression for thoracic disc disease: report of 10 cases
BACKGROUND Discogenic pain or herniation causing neural impingement of the thoracic vertebrae is less common than that in the cervical or lumbar regions. Treatment of thoracic discogenic pain usually involves conservative measures. If this fails, conventional fusion or discectomy can be considered, but these procedures carry significant risk. OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy and safety of pe...
متن کامل[Percutaneous laser disc decompression for lumbar discogenic radicular pain].
PURPOSE The aim of our study was to directly evaluate the effectiveness of percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) for treatment of lumbar discogenic radicular pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS From June 2006 through July 2009, 205 patients with contained disc herniation demonstrated on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance, concordance between the radicular pain and the nerve root co...
متن کاملPercutaneous disc decompression for the treatment of chronic atypical cervical discogenic pain.
Percutaneous disc decompression with the radiofrequency coblation technique has been described to treat contained, symptomatic lumbar disc herniations. In symptomatic cervical disc herniations it has been used very selectively. We report a 42-year-old female with cervical disc pathology, predominantly at C6/C7, treated with percutaneous disc decompression using coblation technology. Her complai...
متن کاملRestoration of disk height through non-surgical spinal decompression is associated with decreased discogenic low back pain: a retrospective cohort study
BACKGROUND Because previous studies have suggested that motorized non-surgical spinal decompression can reduce chronic low back pain (LBP) due to disc degeneration (discogenic low back pain) and disc herniation, it has accordingly been hypothesized that the reduction of pressure on affected discs will facilitate their regeneration. The goal of this study was to determine if changes in LBP, as m...
