ABSTRACT
Cervical disc herniation is one of the most common causes of neck, shoulder and arm pain. There are many treatments for a cervical disc herniation, such as rest, physical therapy, medication, epidural steroid injection and surgery. However, conservative treatments sometimes have limited effectiveness, and a surgical discectomy is often associated with numerous complications. Nowadays, a percutaneous discectomy, using a Dekompressor(R) , has been used in herniated disc patients, but a posterolateral extruded disc is not an indication. Herein, our experience using a 19 G Dekompressor(R) , on a 52 year-old male patient with a left C6 7 posterolateral extruded disc, is reported. Decompression was successfully performed, and the pain and range of motion was immediately improved.
