Percutaneous Lumbar Diskectomy

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 1993
The development of an approach for percutaneous lumbar diskectomy (PLD) began over 20 years ago. Since then, clinical investigations of manual and automated PLD techniques have recorded an average success rate of 50% to 70%. Currently, the indications for PLD include (1) a major complaint of acute unilateral leg pain localized to a single dermatome ...

How Do the True Intraoperative Costs of Endoscopic Diskectomy Compare With Microdiskectomy for Lumbar Disk Herniations? A Time-Driven Activity-Based Cost Analysis.

Operative Neurosurgery
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Endoscopic lumbar diskectomy (ED) is a minimally invasive option for addressing lumbar disk herniations. With the introduction of value-based care systems, assessing the true cost of certain procedures is critical when creating ...

Comparison of Complications between Anterior Cervical Diskectomy and Fusion versus Anterior Cervical Corpectomy and Fusion in Two- and Three-Level Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: A Meta-analysis

Central European Neurosurgery, 2021
Background  In this study, we systematically analyze the differences in complications between anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) and anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) in two- and three-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).

Clinical Outcome of Pedicle-Sparing Transfacet Diskectomy and Fusion with Segmental Instrumentation for Thoracic Disc Herniation

Central European Neurosurgery, 2022
Background  Thoracic disk herniations (TDHs) are relatively rare compared with their cervical and lumbar counterparts. Posterior approaches allow for a simpler and less invasive surgery than anterior and lateral approaches.

Percutaneous Automated Diskectomy in Athletes

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1988
In brief: Six athletes underwent percutaneous automated diskectomy-a new technique for aspirating lumbar disks. The patients had herniated lumbar disks (confirmed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans, and/or myelography). Conservative therapy had failed, and they were unable to participate in their respective sports.
