Application value of percutaneous trans foraminal arthroscopic tip shaping in lumbar disc herniation

ObjectiveTo investigate the application effects of percutaneous trans foraminal arthroscopic tip shaping in lumbar disc herniation.

MethodsEighty patients with lumbar disc herniation were treated with percutaneous trans foraminal arthroscopic tip shaping.The clinical efficacy, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, hospitalization time, complications, comparison of visual analogue score(VAS) and Oswestry disability index(ODI) in the pateints between before and after treatment were analyzed.

Results After treatment, the obvious effect in 35 cases, valid in 37 cases and invalid in 8 cases were identified, and the effective rate of which was 90.0% (72/80).The operative time, intraoperative blood loss.hospital stay and complication rate of patients were (75.5±13.3)min, (38.6±14.8)mL, (3.5±1.1)d and 8.8%(7/80), respectively.The VAS score in patients after treatment was less than that before treatment(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01);the ODI patients after treatment was less than that before treatment(P < 0.01).

ConclusionsIn the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, the percutaneous trans foraminal arthroscopic tip shaping has significant clinical effects.
