Percutaneous cervical diskectomy: preliminary experience

Neuroradiology, 1994
We assessed the feasibility of percutaneous treatment of a cervical herniated disc. In the lumbar region, the surgical instrument for percutaneous diskectomy passes only through the paravertebral muscles, while in the cervical region there is considerable risk of nervous, parenchymal and vascular lesions.

Laminectomy Compared with Laparoscopic Diskectomy and Outpatient Laparoscopic Diskectomy for Herniated L5–S1 Intervertebral Disks

Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 1998
The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness of inpatient and outpatient laparoscopic lumbar diskectomy (LLD) compared with laminectomy (LAM) in the surgical treatment of disabling L5-S1 disk herniation. Sixty-two adults underwent surgery for herniated L5-S1 intervertebral disks (31 LLD and 31 LAM). Operative

Microendoscopic Lumbar Diskectomy

Operative Techniques in Sports Medicine, 2005
Background context Rapid return to the playing field regardless of the sport involved is the goal of athletes, coaches, owners, and fans after any type of injury. Lumbar disk problems promote a sense of life-altering changes that will have to be made. Microendoscopic diskectomy can minimize these fears most of the time.
