    Author: Lee HJ, Kim JS, Ryu KS.
    Journal: World Neurosurg; 2017 Feb; 98():876.e23-876.e31. PubMed ID: 27890759.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar diskectomy and percutaneous epidural neuroplasty is a commonly used minimally invasive spinal surgery in lumbar disk herniation. But to our knowledge, there is no report about the results of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar diskectomy with percutaneous epidural neuroplasty. We did this study to evaluate the effect of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar diskectomy with percutaneous epidural neuroplasty in lumbar disk herniation. METHODS: We report a series of cases about techniques and results of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar diskectomy with percutaneous epidural neuroplasty in lumbar disk herniation, as well as introduce technical procedures and advantages. RESULTS: Seven patients improved axial back pain with percutaneous endoscopic lumbar diskectomy with percutaneous epidural neuroplasty and had no complications. The percutaneous endoscopic lumbar diskectomy with percutaneous epidural neuroplasty has many advantages with removing lumbar disk herniation in procedures. CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar diskectomy with percutaneous epidural neuroplasty is a safe and effective surgical method in lumbar disk herniation.
