Abstract
Epiduroscopy has been designated as an advanced medical treatment by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and it is indicated in lumbar disc herniation, spinal canal stenosis, and failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) . In many cases, this treatment is effective in relieving pain, particularly that arising due to adhesions around nerve roots that can be observed by performing epiduroscopy and nerve roots block works. It is thought that irrigating the inflamed tissue with saline might be effective for lumbar disc herniation, irrigation and exfoliation irrigation. Exfoliation improves the blood flow to the cauda equina and adhesiotomy mitigates FBSS.
