Indigo Carmine for the Selective Endoscopic Intervertebral Nuclectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study was undertaken to prove that the selectively infiltrated parts of nucleus pulposus with indigo carmine was degenerated parts of nucleus pulposus. This study was done, between August and October 2002, in 5 patients, who received endoscopic discectomy, due to intervertebral disc herniation. Discogram was done with mixture of indigo carmine and radioactive dye. Blue discolored part was removed through endoscope, and small undiscolored part was removed together for the control. The two parts were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and compared under the microscope. Undiscolored part was normal nucleus pulposus, composed of chondrocytes with a matrix of type II collagen and proteoglycan, mainly aggrecan. However, in discolored part, slits with destruction of collagen fiber array and ingrowth of vessel and nerve were observed. Using indigo carmine in endoscopic discectomy gives us selective removal of degenerated disc.

Two sensitive spectrophotometric methods are presented for the assay of pantoprazole sodium sesqui hydrate (PNT) in bulk drug and in formulations using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and two dyes, methyl orange and indigo carmine, as reagents. The methods involve the addition of a known excess of NBS to PNT in acid medium, followed by determination of unreacted oxidant by reacting with a fixed a...
متن کاملIntraluminal injection of indigo carmine facilitates identification of the afferent limb during double-balloon ERCP.
Double-balloon endoscopy facilitates endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with a Roux-en-Y anastomosis [1]. However, it is difficult to identify the afferent limb during double-balloon ERCP [2]. According to retrospective data from February 2007 to January 2009, the rate of accurate identification was 50% (14/28). We report a useful technique to identify the afferen...
متن کاملUseful condition of chromoendoscopy with indigo carmine and acetic acid for identifying a demarcation line prior to endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancer
BACKGROUND Identifying a precise demarcation line (DL) is indispensable for pathological complete en bloc endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC). We evaluated the useful condition of chromoendoscopy with indigo carmine and acetic acid for marking dots around lesions before ESD for EGC. METHODS We examined 98 consecutive patients with 109 intramucosal EGCs (mean ...
