Speculum lumbar extraforaminal microdiscectomy

The Spine Journal, 2001
Public interest, monetary pressures and improving diagnostic techniques have placed an increasing emphasis on minimalism in lumbar disc excision. Current techniques include microlumbar discectomy and minimally invasive spinal surgery. Both are good techniques but may be painful, require a hospital stay and/or are not widely used because of difficulty ...

Minimally invasive microdiscectomy

Operative Techniques in Neurosurgery, 2004
Although many minimally invasive treatments of lumbar disc pathology have been developed over the years, until the introduction of the current generation of tubular retractor systems none have afforded the same elements of bony decompression and completeness of exploration of the disc space as open microdiscectomy.

Biomechanical Effects of Transthoracic Microdiscectomy

Spine, 1997
Nondestructive flexibility testing was performed to quantify biomechanical parameters of human cadaveric thoracic spines before and after microdiscectomy.To assess the biomechanical differences between the normal thoracic spine and the thoracic spine after microdiscectomy and to determine whether microdiscectomy results in spinal instability.Previous ...

Lumbar microdiscectomy in rats

Microsurgery, 1980
AbstractAn operative method for lumbar microdiscectomy in rats is described in general terms so that it may be adapted to any microsurgical laboratory. The operation may be used as an advanced exercise in microsurgery, or to prepare surgeons for clinical lumbar microdiscectomy surgery.

Lumbar Disc Disease: Microdiscectomy

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1993
This article discusses a rationale for the use of microsurgical technique when treating lumbar disc herniations. The rigid surgical discipline of microlumbar discectomy is presented along with a suggested means to best preserve the future competence of the anulus fibrosis.

Outcome after repeat lumbar microdiscectomy

British Journal of Neurosurgery, 1995
One of the standard treatments for herniation of lumbosacral disc material has become the microdiscectomy. Although multiple studies have assessed the outcome of microdiscectomy, only a few studies have evaluated the outcome of those patients who have undergone a second microdiscectomy at the same location as the original one. The purpose of this study

Arthroscopic Microdiscectomy and Selective Fragmentectomy

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1998
A prospective outcome study to determine the efficacy and complications associated with posterolateral arthroscopic discectomy was initiated in April 1988. One hundred seventy-five patients with symptoms consistent with a lumbar disc herniation and correlative imaging studies were treated operatively, and 169 were available for followup evaluation ...
