Percutaneous Endoscopic Cervical Discectomy (PECD)
The Percutaneous Endoscopic Cervical Discectomy (PECD) is applied to patients with symptoms of neuralgia by the compression of the shoulder and arm due to the herniation of the disc nucleus from a ruptured annular fiber. Unlike conventional surgery which requires skin incisions and the removal of the whole disc, the procedure preserves most of the disc tissue to minimize complications. It is the most advanced therapy that can be performed on the elderly or patients with diabetes without concern.
Advantages
Epidural hemorrhage of nerves or fiber attachments around nerves is not created.
Surgical Technique
Percutaneous Endoscopic Cervical Discectomy(PECD) is a less invasive surgery with inserting the thin canal under local anesthesia. With endoscopic view, the surgeon can insert the 0.4cm canal into the disc through the skin and shrinks the herniated disc with a laser.
Indications
The soft cervical disc herniation that has showed no improvement by the physical therapy or exercise would be a main indication. However, it is desirable to treat the patient before the cord compression which might cause severe condition. It is necessary that open surgery should be performed on the patient if the patient cannot run or walk as fast as they normally could, because of a compressed spinal cord.
What is the Soft Cervical Disc Herniation?
The Soft Cervical Disc Herniation is defined as when the disc between the vertebral bodies is torn and the nucleus pulposus is herniated so that it could compress the nerve root and spinal cord.
The upper limb neuralgia, which causes pain in the arm, is a common symptom since the nucleus pulposus is usually exited posterolaterally. Also it often causes some pain around the scapula.
Unless the patient is cured, the muscles of the arms and hands could be weakened and the tendon reflex could worsen as well as the sensory neuron could be deteriorated. In a severe case, the patient could have difficulty of walking and could suffer from loss of consciousness or even a stroke.
