Patients with contained disc herniations who do not respond to conservative treatment may be helped by percutaneous discectomy.
Multiple clinical studies have shown that percutaneous discectomy using the Stryker Dekompressor® is successful for 90% of patients. This minimally invasive procedure reduces pressure on the nerve root by removing disc nucleus. It results in minimal annular disruption, preserving disc strength and future treatment options, including surgery.
