Videoendoscopic Epiduroplasty for Lumbar Disc Herniation

Abstract

A 34-year-old man diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation has suffered from chronic sciatica for several years. Conventional conservative treatment, such as epidural block, nerve root block, and medication had little effect. We performed videoendoscopic epiduroplasty using Video-Guided Catheter^™ in this patient, and excellent results were obtained. This method is a minimally invasive technique that may provide an excellent outcome in patients with lumbar disc herniation.
