Abstract

Minimally invasive disc decompression procedures performed in the United States include microdiscectomy, chemonucleolysis, automated percutaneous discectomy, laser discectomy, radiofrequency Coblation® (ArthroCare Corporation, Austin, TX), hydrodiscectomy, and use of a Dekompressor® (Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI). The evidence for percutaneous discectomy procedures is lacking due to a paucity of literature, a lack of high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs), which show conflicting results when they are present. Thus, the evidence based on a best evidence synthesis is Level II to IV for long-term improvement, which is essentially based on small, randomized controlled trials, multiple observational studies, and consensus.

Percutaneous disc decompression is indicated in those patients with low back and/or leg pain of at least 3 months duration and a contained disc after failing to respond to conservative therapeutic interventions, including fluoroscopically guided epidural injections. This manuscript describes pathophysiological, anatomical, and technical considerations of percutaneous disc decompression utilizing multiple modalities.
