Minimally Invasive Disc Herniation Interventions
Advanced techniques to treat herniated discs without major surgery, including percutaneous procedures that remove or shrink disc material pressing on nerves.
About This Treatment
Minimally invasive disc herniation interventions offer effective alternatives to traditional open back surgery. These procedures use small needles or tubes inserted through the skin to access and treat herniated discs, avoiding the need for large incisions and extensive muscle dissection.
Techniques include percutaneous disc decompression, which removes a small amount of disc material to reduce pressure; nucleoplasty, which uses radiofrequency energy to shrink disc tissue; and intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET), which uses heat to strengthen the disc wall and reduce pain.
These procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation, allowing patients to return home the same day with minimal recovery time.
