2023年4月27日 · Micro endoscopic discectomy can reduce injury to the paraspinal muscles and can preserve facet joints in the setting of extraforaminal disc herniations. Percutaneous endoscopic discectomy leads to a reduction in nuclear volume and thus tension on the annular fibers and the posterior longitudinal ligament 1 .

2023年8月13日 · Radio-imagings include plain and dynamic X-ray; CT, CT myelography or CT discography, MRI, and a spinal teleradiograph. This help to ascertain the presence of LDH, and confirm the level, position, and pattern of the herniated disc (posterolateral/ foraminal/extra-foraminal and extruded vs. sequestrated).
Microdiscectomy: Surgery for a Herniated Disc | HSS Spine
2023年7月20日 · Imaging techniques, including X-rays, are used before, and sometimes during, the surgery to ensure localization of the correct operative site. While herniated discs may occur in almost any level of the spine, lumbar microdiscectomy – surgery in the lower portion of the back – is the most common site for this procedure.
Diskectomy: What It Is, Purpose, Procedure & Recovery - Cleveland Clinic
For a minimally invasive lumbar diskectomy, your surgeon will use a fluoroscopy (a special X-ray) to pass a thin needle through your skin to locate the affected vertebra and disk. They’ll then make a small incision (less than 1 inch) near the midline of your back.
Microscopic / Endoscopic Discectomy - Complete Orthopedics
X-ray imaging (Fluoroscopy) is used inside the operating room to identify the level before the decision. Once the incision is given, meticulous dissection and hemostasis is achieved and the back of the spine is reached, the level is again checked under x-ray.

2017年11月30日 · Microdiscectomy. Preoperative sagittal T2-weighted MRI (a) shows a disc herniation at L5–S1 (arrow). Sagittal T2-weighted MRI (b) obtained after microdiscectomy shows interval resection of the herniated disc material, without significant alteration to …
Microdiscectomy - PubMed
2023年8月13日 · Today, microdiscectomy with its smaller incision, less traumatic approach, and better visualization of the operative field than standard open discectomy is considered the gold standard for removing most lumbar disc herniations.
Lumbar Discectomy Surgery, minimally invasive microdiscectomy ...
A “minimally invasive” technique or a microendoscopic discectomy uses a small skin incision. A series of progressively larger tubes, called dilators, are used to tunnel through the muscles. Special instruments help the surgeon see and operate in a smaller space.
Microdiscectomy - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Microlaminotomy, or microdiscectomy, is the contemporary gold standard treatment of lumbar disc hernia, the use of a larger open incision waning. The MRI of a common paramedian lumbar disc hernia symptomatic with left leg pain is shown in Figure 93-1.
Microdiscectomy (MLD) - USC Spine Center
Special retractors and an operating microscope are used to allow the surgeon to visualize the region of the spine, with minimal or no cutting of the adjacent muscles and soft-tissues. After the retractor is in place, an x-ray is used to confirm that the appropriate disc is identified.
