Percutaneous lumbar discectomy is a new surgical method for
treating lumbar disc diseases. The goal of the procedure is
decompression of the spinal nerve root by percutaneous removal of
the nucleus pulposus under local anesthesia. Probably 20 % of all
patients requiring lumbar disc surgery can be successfully treated
by this method. During the past two years, percutaneous discectomy
has spread rapidly, and it is now performed in most clinical
departments engaged in spinal surgery. The first International
Symposium on Percutaneous Lumbar Discectomy, held in Berlin in
August 1988, covered all current procedures known as "percutaneous
discectomy" and the entire range of percutaneous techniques, both
clinical and experimental. Its publication is important because of
the recency of this new surgical procedure, the outstanding
experience of the speakers - including the Japanese, American, and
European "pioneers" of the technique - and last but not least the
gaps in the knowledge of physicians concerning this topic. This
procedure opens up new perspectives in the surgical treatment of
degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine.
