Abstract
|
|
|
|
Recently, various studies evaluating percutaneous cervical nucleoplasty have reported good results. Percutaneous cervical nucleoplasty has been commonly used for treating contained herniated disc or protrusion, but a posterolateral extruded disc has not been considered to be an indication. The tip of the L’DISQ® wand can be curved to the desired angles by the rotation of the control wheel. Therefore, L’DISQ® can directly access the extruded disc. We report the application of percutaneous cervical nucleoplasty by using the L’DISQ® in three patients with an extruded disc. Decompression was successfully performed, and the symptoms improved immediately. In one patient, a 6-month follow-up magnetic resonance imaging study showed disappearance of the extruded cervical disc. Percutaneous cervical nucleoplasty using the L’DISQ® can be an effective, low complication, minimally invasive procedure for treating cervical disc herniation.
