Transforaminal Percutaneous Endoscopic Discectomy (TPED) is a minimally invasive technique mainly used for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation from a lateral approach. Performed under local anesthesia, TPED has been proven to be a safe and effective technique which has been also associated with shorter rehabilitation period, reduced blood loss, trauma, and scar tissue compared to conventional procedures. However, the procedure should be performed by a spine surgeon experienced in the specific technique and capable of recognizing or avoiding various challenging conditions. In this review, pitfalls that a novice surgeon has to be mindful of, are reported and analyzed.
经椎间孔入路经皮内镜下椎间盘切除术(TPED)是一种主要用于从侧方入路治疗腰椎间盘突出症的微创技术。TPED在局部麻醉下进行,已被证明是一种安全有效的技术,与传统手术相比,它还具有康复期短、失血少、创伤小和瘢痕组织少的特点。然而,该手术应由精通该特定技术且能够识别或避免各种具有挑战性情况的脊柱外科医生进行。在本综述中,报告并分析了新手外科医生必须注意的陷阱。
