Spine, 1994
The percutaneous treatment of lumbar disc disease with laser energy has emerged recently as an alternative to open surgical or even mechanical percutaneous methods. Although numerous laser wavelengths have been employed in both the experimental and clinical settings, no consensus exists regarding selection of laser, treatment duration, or energy ...

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1993
Discectomy with lasers is a technically easy procedure and permits a surgeon to place a predictably sized and configured defect in a predetermined position in the intervertebral disc. In a small series of patients, the procedure appears effective in controlling symptoms in a high percentage of patients.

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 ...

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.

Journal of Clinical Laser Medicine & Surgery, 1992
Percutaneous discectomy, for treatment of lumbar disc herniation, was first described in 1975 by Hijikta. Since its inception, a variety of instruments including rongeurs, augers, automated mechanical devices, and more recently, lasers have been developed to remove tissue from the herniated disc.

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.

Thoracic microendoscopic discectomy
Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2004Object.Various approaches exist for the treatment of thoracic disc herniation. Anterior approaches facilitate ventral exposure but place the intrathoracic contents at risk. Posterolateral approaches require extensive muscle dissection that adds to the risk of postoperative morbidity. The authors have developed a novel posterolateral, minimally invasive

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 ...

Thoracic Microendoscopic Discectomy
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2006Thoracic microendoscopic discectomy is a safe effective treatment for surgical removal of herniated thoracic intervertebral discs. This approach allows access through a minimally invasive muscle-splitting posterolateral approach that does not place the contents of the thoracic cavity at risk. In the lumbar spine, this approach has been proven effective,
