Abstract:Objective:To explore the clinical safety and efficacy of visual trephine on-demand target foraminoplasty in percutaneous endoscopic discectomy for migrated disc herniation. Methods:To retrospective analyse data of 58 sufferers with migrated disc herniation underwent percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy from March 2019 to July 2021. 30 sufferers were treated with Visual trephine on-demand target foraminoplasty,28 sufferers underwent X-Ray monitoring foraminoplasty. Record perioperative data, 5-point Likert-type scale、VAS、ODI scores and modified MacNab standard was used to evaluate the clinical outcomes . Results:All sufferers had operation done,Visual trephine team was showed significantly superior to the control team as to the frequency of X-Ray monitoring、time of tube ascertained、blood loss、during-operation VAS scores and Likert-type scale (P<0.05). Visual trephine team was same to the control team as to incision length, decompress time and hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). The VAS scores and ODI score showed significantly less than preoperative (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference as to those scores at any corresponding time point, as well as excellent and good rate of clinical outcome valued by MacNab,s criteria at the latest follow-up between the two teams(P >0.05). Conclusion:Visual trephine on-demand target foraminoplasty showed advantages of less injuries、bleeding in percutaneous endoscopic discectomy for migrated disc herniation.
