Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical outcomes of the percutaneous radiofrequency nucleoplasty in the treatment of cervical disc herniation.Methods 183 patients with cervical disc herniation were treated with percutaneous radiofrequency nucleoplasty.A retrospective analysis of 183 patients was made,and their effects were evaluated using the VAS and the subjective satisfactory degree of the patients.Results All cases were followed up for 3 to 36 months( average 12 months).There were no complications observed such as hemorrhages,infections and nerve root injurys due to the procedure.One week after operation,symptom remission rate was 58.4％ and perfect rate of subjective satisfaction was 95.1％.At final follow up,symptom remission' rate was 66.1％ and perfect rate of subjective satisfaction was 85.8％.Conclusion Percutaneous radiofrequency nucleoplasty was an effective,minimally invasive and safe procedure to treat cervical disc herniation,and the operative treatment had shown better results.
