Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of CT guided percutaneous targeted coblation nucleoplasty in treatment of cervical intervetebral disc herniation.Methods Fifty patients who were diagnosed with cervical intervetebral disc herniation by CT or MRI were received the treatment of CT guided percutaneous targeted coblation nucleoplasty and the follow-up check after operation.The effects according to Macnab therapeutic criteria and VAS method were evaluated and recorded before operation and after operation at the third day,2 weeks,3 months.Results All patients accepted follow-up three months after operation.The effects were assessed by Macnab therapeutic criteria:1 9 cases were excellent (37.5%),29 cases good (58.3%),2 cases bad (4.2%),and the effective rate was 92.5%.The VAS scores in three months after operation were significantly lower than that before operation (P <0.05 ). Conclusion Computed tomography guided percutaneous targeted coblation nucleoplasty is a safe,effective and minimally invasive method for treating cervical intervetebral disc herniation.
