Abstract
Disc herniation is a common source of acute and chronic radicular pain [1]. Percutaneous decompression techniques include arthroscopic manual extraction and nuclear ablation using plasma or laser-generated heat. Interventionalists typically consider percutaneous techniques for contained disc herniation that ideally have high water content [2]. More recent navigable decompression devices now allow targeted decompression to include noncontained herniated discs [3].
