Download or read book Focus on Chemonucleolysis written by Jean-François Bonneville and published by Springer. This book was released on 1986 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemonucleolysis is an efficient, attractive treatment of herniated lum bar disc. It has several major advantages: it is less invasive than surgery, enables an earlier return to work and is cost-effective. Nevertheless serious complications can occur during or after the procedure. Infections or neurological complications usually follow a technical fault and must be avoided. Anaphylactic reactions are rare but can be fatal: development of simple and reliable skin tests to detect sen sitization against chymopapain is an indispensable way to increase the safety of chemonucleolysis. Failure occurs in about one patient of every five; rigorous patient selection should produce a decreased failure rate. Chemonucleolysis is not a miraculous nor a "magic" treatment. As with all efficient therapeutic methods, it presents advantages, draw backs, and failures. Chemonucleolysis still has passionate partisans and ferocious enemies. The goal of this book will be achieved if chemonu cleolysis becomes a standard, well-accepted, and uncontroversial treat ment modality for herniated lumbar disc. October 1986 J.-F.

Download or read book Interventional Neuroradiology written by Anton Valavanis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The methods of interventional neuroradiology represent a distinct and difficult branch with in the new field of interventional radiology. The editor of this volume, Anton Valavanis, is a pioneer in this area, and one of the outstanding neuroradiologists in the world. Furthermore, he has brought together the foremost scientists and clinical neuroradiologists in the field to present the individual chapters. The book gives an overview ofthe state of the art in interventional neuroradiology. Each of the 12 chapters is devoted to a disease which can be treated by interventional neuroradio logical techniques. Pertinent information is provided on anatomical detail, technical back ground, and clinical aspects; in each case a detailed description of the indications, techniques, and possible complications of interventional neuroradiology is provided. Due consideration is given to the endovascular and nonvascular applications of the techniques. This book is the first comprehensive update of interventional neuroradiology and will acquaint the reader with well-established facts, recent advances, and future perspectives within this new discipline. It will be of special value to those working in neuroradiology but will also prove very helpful for neurosurgeons, neurologists, and ophthalmologists, as well as all physicians and researchers in the clinical neurosciences. We hope that the book will meet with the reception and success that it undoubtedly merits.

Download or read book CT and MRI of Disk Herniations written by Denis Krause and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ever-increasing interest in the spine and its pathology is not surprising. Acting as the main support of an erect posture unique in the animal kingdom, the human spine is, owing to its numerous articulations, at the same time a supple structure that can respond to the many stresses which are put on it. Constant movement is necessary to preserve its function, but regular and well is also essential. The high frequency of spinal disorders result positioned rest ing from misuse is easily explained by day-to-day reality. Among the disorders that result from misuse of the spine, herniated disk, leading to radicular compression, is one of the most frequent. New tech niques, less invasive and yielding more precise information, have been pro gressively developed for the diagnosis of this disease and at the same time new methods of treatment have appeared, giving us a much broader range of choices and decisions to make. In the face of this evolving, complex situation, a multidisciplinary team from Strasbourg decided to clarify the topic. A single man's experience, what ever his qualities, would certainly have been insufficient and the necessarily limited views of a single speciality would also have been a handicap. This re markable work is thus the result of collaboration between clinical and inter ventional radiologists and a neurosurgeon.

Download or read book Atlas of Automated Percutaneous Lumbar Discectomy A P L D written by Antonio Solini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Percutaneous nuclectomy according to the Onik method is an avantgarde method used to remove the intervertebral disc by percutaneous access and with closed surgery. The instrumentation and the procedure are simple. The main feature is the smaller diameter of the probe (2mm) which fragments and aspires the small chips of pulpy nucleus. It reduces the risk of discitic infections (occurring in various percentages with all methods of percutaneous discectomy) because the hole in the anulus, being small, closes spontaneously after the probe is removed. Moreover postoperative acute lumbar pain has been reported to occur less frequently. This method is carried out under local anesthesia, with radioscopic and intraoperative discographic monitoring. By consulting this atlas orthopaedists, neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists may learn this method easily, because every detail is clearly presented and illustrated with a great number of coloured pictures.
