Abstract

The percutaneous nucleotomy via discoscopy for decompression of lumbar disk-prolapse is advantageous regarding segmental stability, is less invasive and can be performed in regional anesthesia. Preoperative evaluation of indication is important. Experiences with 148 patients operated 1979-1988 are reviewed. Immediate success was achieved in 70% (overall 85% favorable results). As further development the novel technique of percutaneous intercorporal spondylodesis is presented.
