Application of Targeted Puncture Technique in Percutaneous Transforaminal Endoscopic Discectomy for Adolescent Lumbar Disc Herniation
Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of targeted puncture technique in percutaneous transforaminalendoscopic discectomy (PTED) for Adolescent Lumbar Disc Herniation (ALDH).Methods A retrospective study was performed between Jun 2014 and September 2017, which included 30 adolescent patients who underwent PETD for lumbar disc herniation.2 females and 28 males were included, with a meanage of (18.50±2.13) years and a mean BMI of (22.04±3.71) kg/m2.The pre-andpostoperative visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), and modified MacNab scores, as well as perioperative data, were collected.Results The mean follow-up period was (25.63±14.14) months.The average operation time and hospital stay were (118.23±31.57) minutes and (6.13±2.03) days.Besides, the average bleeding were (8.30±6.17) mL.During the follow-up period, the VAS for back and leg pain decreased significantly, and ODI scoresgreatly increased (P＜0.05).In terms of modified MacNab criteria, 86.87％ of patients showed excellent or good results.After surgery, one patients complained of leg numbnessand underwent a second surgery.Conclusion The targeted puncture technique percutaneous transforaminalendoscopic discectomy is a safe and effectiveminimally invasive technique for ALDH.
