Abstract
The authors describe their use of percutaneous nucleotomy in the treatment of lumbar disk herniation. They report on the first 40 patients so treated at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Zurich, Switzerland. They note the procedure offers good possibilities and that in some cases, in combination with discoscopy (arthroscopy), has several advantages over conventional surgical techniques.Entities:
