  • Title: [Neuroradiologic treatment possibilities of intervertebral disk displacement].
    Author: Vogl G, Pallua A, Mohsenipour I, Gerstenbrand F.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 1992; 104(8):243-7. PubMed ID: 1604877.
    Abstract:
    A CT assisted method for automated percutaneous lumbar discectomy (APLD) is described. With this technique and introduction of a "pull and push" method as well extruded and sequestrated herniated lumbar discs as cervical herniated discs can be treated. The CT assisted discectomy was performed in 70 patients. The success rate was 86% in the lumbar region and 93% for cervical herniated discs. We believe that this percutaneous technique will increase the importance of interventional neuroradiology for this common disease.
