Cervical Spine Percutaneous Endoscopic Discectomy pain management movies. Percutaneous discectomy is a minimally invasive disc decompression technique which is performed through a needle. The discectomy removes some nucleus material from the intervertebral disc whilst minimizing damage to the adjacent tissues. The removal of nucleus material decreases the pressure within the disc, which can result in the contained disc herniation retracting. This in turn can lead to a decrease in neck and arm pain. The percutaneous approach decreases the pain, complications and recovery time, and maximizes the spine's strength and stability after the procedure and pain management movies.
INDICATIONS
The indications for a percutaneous discectomy are
- neck or arm pain, caused by
