DISCECTOMY VERSUS DISCECTOMY WITH FUSION VERSUS DISCECTOMY WITH FUSION AND INSTRUMENTATION
Neurosurgery, 2007The need for interbody fusion after anterior cervical discectomy for radiculopathy remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to assess clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients with cervical radiculopathy after discectomy without fusion (ACD), discectomy with intervertebral fusion (ACDF), and discectomy with intervertebral fusion and ...

Neurosurgery, 1985
Abstract Percutaneous discectomy is a viable alternative in the treatment of herniated intervertebral discs of the lumbar spine. Anatomical analysis of the retroperitoneal surgical path utilizing computed tomography suggests that the risk of vascular injury is negligible at the L-4, L-5 level, but substantial at the L-5, S-1 level.

Laparoscopic lumbar discectomy
The American Journal of Surgery, 1995Minimally invasive spine surgery is gaining popularity. Results of currently used percutaneous posterior techniques fall short of standard open microdiscectomy. Using a posterior percutaneous technology with an anterior laparoscopic approach may improve results and still maintain the advantages of a minimally invasive procedure.Patients with ...

Microendoscopic discectomy in athletes
Journal of Orthopaedic Science, 2013Management of lumbar disc herniation in athletes is challenging because a prolonged period of postoperative rehabilitation prevents the athlete from participating in sporting activity, resulting in loss of competitive form. No study reporting the clinical results of microendoscopic discectomy (MED) in athletes was identified in a literature search ...

Outpatient Laminotomy and Discectomy
Journal of Spinal Disorders, 1999This is a prospective study of 61 consecutive patients undergoing lumbar laminotomy and discectomy on an outpatient basis. The purpose of this study was to report on the feasibility of performing lumbar laminotomy and discectomy as an outpatient procedure and to assess perioperative complications, patient satisfaction, cost, and clinical results ...

Percutaneous Discectomy in Athletes
Spine, 1993Percutaneous discectomy has been widely used for the lumbar disc herniation in recent years because it is a simple and safe procedure. This report evaluates the postoperative return to the original level of activity among athletes who compete in their sports on a national level.

Automated Percutaneous Discectomy
SPINE, 1991Automated percutaneous discectomy is a new, safe procedure for treating herniated lumbar discs still contained by the annulus or posterior longitudinal ligament. In 1985, one of the authors reported a percutaneous nucleus aspiration technique using a 2-mm aspiration probe.

NUANCES IN PERCUTANEOUS DISCECTOMY
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1998This article presents an update of the field of percutaneous discectomy and a perspective as to where percutaneous discectomy currently fits in the treatment of patients with herniated discs. The future of minimally invasive disc surgery is also entertained, and a novel approach to lumbar disc surgery is presented.

Percutaneous Discectomy: An Alternative to Chemonucleolysis?
Neurosurgery, 1983Abstract At the University of Florida, a new technique for lumbar disc removal, called percutaneous discectomy, has been explored. This procedure may be performed under general or local anesthesia, frequently takes less than 15 minutes, and is generally bloodless.

Automated Percutaneous Discectomy
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1996Automated percutaneous discectomy is the most popular technique for intradiscal therapy of lumbar disc disease, with over 80,000 procedures performed worldwide to date. Success rates range from 55% to 85%, and complications are very infrequent (less than one percent). Very careful patient selection seems critical for success.
