Professor Ilya Pekarsky

leading orthopedist

Percutaneous (transcutaneous) nucleoplasty is one of the most effective and modern methods of minimally invasive surgical interventions on intervertebral discs. The use of the percutaneous (transcutaneous) nucleoplasty technique helps spinal surgeons at the Top Ihilov clinic successfully relieve patients from pain and its causes, returning the joy of a healthy, full life.

This treatment method is characterized by the fact that it does not destroy the structures of the fibrous rings of the disc, due to the use of relatively low temperatures affecting the discs.

The surgical intervention is performed under fluoroscopic control and local anesthesia. During the intervention, cold plasma is introduced into the cavity of the intervertebral disc through a puncture needle, causing part of the disc's contents to evaporate. As a result, pressure on the nerve endings is reduced and the pain subsides.

This procedure has several undeniable advantages:

• When practically applying the transcutaneous nucleoplasty method, the need for open surgical intervention is excluded;
• Prolonged hospitalization of the patient is not required for the intervention;
• The operation is performed in a day hospital setting;
• The duration of the intervention is 20-30 minutes;
• The success rate of such an intervention is 85% of the total number of operations performed. The effect (absence of pain syndrome) lasts for 10 years;
• Already two hours after the intervention, the patient can walk. Three hours later, they are allowed to leave the clinic;
• The postoperative period is short and does not require rehabilitation measures;
• The patient has the unique opportunity to restore moderate physical activity the day after the operation.
