Comparative StudyEfficacy of percutaneous epidural neuroplasty does not correlate with dural sac cross-sectional area in single level disc disease.
Percutaneous epidural neuroplasty (PEN) is a minimally invasive treatment. The efficacy of PEN has been relatively well investigated; however, the relationship between the clinical effectiveness of PEN and the severity of spinal canal stenosis by disc material has not yet been established. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of PEN according to the dural sac cross-sectional area in single level disc disease. ⋯ PEN is an effective procedure in treating single level lumbar disc herniation without affecting dural sac cross-sectional area.
