Abstract

AIm: Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) is a one of the well-known minimal invasive treatment methods of disc herniations. The aim of this study is to present our clinical experience and to show the benefits of this technique. mAterIAl and methOds: A total of 197 patients, who met the criteria of PLDD, underwent treatment between 2007 and 2009. The data of the patients was reviewed retrospectively. Among them, 107 (54.3 %) patients were male and 90 were female with a mean age of 46.34 years (ranged between 23 and 86 years). Seventy-two patients underwent one level PLDD, 112 (56.8 %) patients two levels PLDD and 13 patients three levels PLDD procedures. The mean follow-up time was 42 months. results: Among the 72 patients, the level of PLDD was L3-L4 in 4 patients, L4-L5 in 39 patients and L5-S1 in 29 patients. L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels were the most common 2-level PLDD locations in 71 patients. Twenty-five (12.7 %) patients underwent microsurgical discectomy after PLDD. The procedure was repeated in 3 patients. Discitis secondary to possible thermal injury occurred in 2 (0.1%) patients and this complication was improved with conservative treatment. COnClusIOn: PLDD is a safe and effective procedure in the treatment of discogenic pain if the patient met the selection criteria. However, this technique is not an alternative to open surgery.

Özet

AmAÇ: Perkütan lazer disk dekompresyonu (PLDD) disk hernilerinin tedavisinde iyi bilinen minimal invaziv bir yöntemdir. Çalışmanın amacı PLDD konusunda klinik tecrübemizi paylaşmak ve bu tekniğin faydalarını göstermektir. yÖntem ve GereÇler: 2007 ile 2009 yılları arasında kriterlere uyan 197 hastaya PLDD uygulanmıştır. Bu 197 hastanın verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Olguların 107 (% 54,3)'si erkek ve 90'ı kadın olup, ortalama yaş 46,34'dü (23-86 yaş arası). Yetmiş iki hastaya tek seviye, 112 (% 56,8) hastaya iki seviye ve 13 hastaya üç seviye PLDD uygulandı. Ortalama takip süresi 42 ay idi. BulGulAr: 72 hasta içinde, 4 hastada L3-L4 seviyesine, 39 hastada L4-L5 seviyesine ve 29 hastada L5-S1 seviyesine PLDD uygulandı. L4-L5 ve L5-S1 seviyesi en sık 2-seviye PLDD uygulanan seviyedir ve 71 hastaya uygulanmıştır. Yirmibeş (% 12,7) hastaya PLDD'den sonra mikrocerrahi yöntemle diskektomi uygulanmıştır. Üç hastada prosedür tekrar uygulanmıştır. Muhtemel termal hasara sekonder diskitis 2 (% 0,1) hastada izlenmiştir ve bu komplikasyon konservatif yöntemle düzelmiştir. sOnuÇ: Perkütan lazer disk dekompresyonu hasta kriterlere uyduğu takdirde güvenli ve etkin bir tedavi yöntemidir. Ancak bu teknik hiçbir zaman açık cerrahiye alternatif değildir.
