Procedure

Die klassische offene Behandlung von weit lateralen Bandscheibenvorfällen im Bereich L5-S1 ist anspruchsvoll. Alternativ setzt der transforaminale endoskopische Zugang direkt am weit lateralen Bereich an und erfordert nur eine geringe oder gar keine Facettenresektion, um eine Dekompression zu erreichen.

Endoskopische weit laterale lumbale transforaminale Diskektomie

Child (D)

Eine transforaminale oder paraspinale Vorgehensweise bietet die Möglichkeit, weit lateral gelegene Bandscheibenvorfälle zu erreichen. Durch die Verwendung einer wirbelsäulenspezifischen Endoskopieoptik werden Weichteilverletzungen minimiert, was zu weniger postoperativen Schmerzen führt.1,2 Darüber hinaus haben Studien gezeigt, dass etwa 85 % der Patienten, die sich einer endoskopischen lumbalen Diskektomie unterzogen haben, bereits nach 6 bis 8 Wochen wieder sportlich aktiv waren.3,4

Transforaminale endoskopische Diskektomie

Minimally invasive endoscopic cervical foraminotomy and decompression is designed to treat cervical radiculopathy and other conditions that compress the nerve root. Utilizing an endoscope, surgeons can directly visualize and remove compressive pathology such as disc herniations, osteophytes, and hypertrophic ligaments. This technique minimizes soft-tissue disruption, reduces blood loss, allows for quicker recovery, and has demonstrated high clinical success rates, with a systematic review reporting 91.3% overall and up to 94.2% for posterior approaches.1,2 Additionally, long-term follow-ups show lasting symptom relief, high patient satisfaction, and a lower risk of adjacent segment disease compared to traditional ACDF surgery.3
Potential applications include treatment of cervical radiculopathy, herniated cervical discs, cervical spondylosis, foraminal stenosis, and osteophytes (bone spurs). Research supports its effectiveness in treating both soft disc herniations, where the nucleus pulposus compresses the nerve root, and hard disc herniations caused by calcified disc material.4 A lower incidence of spinal instability has also been reported, suggesting a reduced need for future spinal fusion procedures.5
Careful patient selection is key to optimal surgical outcomes; those with major deformity, instability, or large central herniations may require alternative surgery. With proper selection and advancing technology, this method remains a safe, effective, and motion-preserving option for cervical nerve decompression.1
