Percutaneous Disc Decompression

aa

Discectomy of the intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus for relief of low back and radicular pain is the most commonly performed neurosurgical procedure achieving success rates in excess of 90%. Less invasive methods for discectomy and disc pressure reduction will play an important role in the future treatment of patients suffering from disc herniations. 

The Dekompressor™ 1.5 mm Percutaneous Lumbar Discectomy Probe utilizes a highly efficient method for removal of intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus through a smallest available channel allowing discectomy entirely under fluoroscopic control.

Discectomy using the Dekompressor™ may result in:

• a reduction in the production of perineural scarring and postoperative fibrosis 

• a reduction in permanent structural alterations including those produced by: invasion of the spinal canal dissection of the ligamentum flavum removal of lamina disruption of the disc annulus

• a decrease in: anesthesia procedure time recovery time 

• a decrease in complication and morbidity rate

• a decrease in postoperative spinal instability
