It allows surgeons to work with 2 hands through a small-diameter, operating table–mounted tubular retractor, and to apply standard microsurgical techniques in which a small skin incision and minimal muscle dissection are used.

Microdiscectomy or tubular discectomy: Is any of them a better …
Some key points for safe and successful completion of microendoscopic discectomy are: (1) Correct placement of the k-wire at facet lamina junction, (2) introduction of the blunt end of the k-wire, (3) never descend the wire below the level of the lamina, (4) placement of the tubular retractor under continuous lateral fluoroscopy, (5 ...

Interlaminar microscopic tubular lumbar discectomy (IMTLD)
This operation allows for a minimally invasive solution to most lumbar disc herniations in the central, posterolateral, and lateral recess locations. A paraspinal approach with successive dilators allows for docking a tubular retractor through a “muscle splitting” rather than a “muscle cutting” approach.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery - AANS
2024年4月8日 · Minimally invasive tubular retractor (MITR): Muscle-splitting technology first introduced in 1995 in conjunction with microendoscopic discectomy. The tubular retractor is used to create a tunnel down to the spinal column and can come in a variety of sizes, even as small as 1.4 cm in diameter (about 1/2 of an inch).
Microdiscectomy - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
2023年8月13日 · Once hemostasis is achieved, the tubular retractor system can be removed, and subcutaneous tissue and skin can be closed. Salient surgical steps can be summarized as: Microdiscectomy for medial, paramedian, and intra-foraminal discs
Microendoscopic lumbar discectomy: Technique and results of …
Potential benefits include less muscle and local damage, better cosmesis, decreased pain and operative time and faster recovery after surgery. We have evaluated the outcome of micro endoscopic discectomy (MED) utilizing tubular retractors in terms of …
Minimally invasive tubular microdiscectomy for recurrent lumbar …
2023年10月5日 · Our study demonstrated a progressive step-by-step tubular retractor-based discectomy technique for the treatment of RLDH at the ipsilateral side illustrating dissection of scar which is significant risk for incidental durotomy. It showed also a …
Clinical Applications of the Tubular Retractor on Spinal Disorders
In 1997, the microendoscopic discectomy (MED) system was introduced, which allowed spine surgeons to reliably decompress a symptomatic lumbar nerve root via an endoscopic, minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approach 5).
