Percutaneous lumbar discectomy demonstrates how technology is improving medicine. The procedure allows the patient to have lumbar disc surgery without all the risks involved with open back surgery. It is relatively noninvasive, decreases operating time, and allows use of local anesthesia which reduces chances of infection, postoperative complications, and cost. With proper patient selection and correct surgical technique, percutaneous lumbar discectomy has the potential to be an alternative to laminectomy for uncomplicated herniated disc surgery.
经皮腰椎间盘切除术展示了技术如何推动医学进步。该手术使患者能够接受腰椎间盘手术，而无需承担开放性背部手术的所有风险。它相对无创，可缩短手术时间，并允许使用局部麻醉，从而降低感染、术后并发症的几率以及成本。通过适当的患者选择和正确的手术技术，经皮腰椎间盘切除术有可能成为单纯性椎间盘突出症手术中椎板切除术的替代方案。
