Entry term(s) disquectomía percutánea
nucleotomía percutánea
Scope note: Extirpación percutánea de un DISCO INTERVERTEBRAL herniado o desplazado mediante un abordaje posterolateral, respetando siempre la médula espinal. La nucleotomía percutánea fue descrita por vez primera por Hijikata, en Japón, en 1975. En 1985 Onik introdujo la nucleotomía percutánea automatizada, que consiste en la aspiración percutánea del núcleo pulposo. Se realiza bajo anestesia local, con lo que se reduce el trauma quirúrgico, y requiere una breve hospitalización, a menudo suele efectuarse en régimen ambulatorio. Parece ser una alternativa bien tolerada a la discectomía quirúrgica y a la nucleolisis con quimopapaína.

Scope note: Percutaneous excision of a herniated or displaced INTERVERTEBRAL DISC by posterolateral approach, always remaining outside the spinal canal. Percutaneous nucleotomy was first described by Hijikata in Japan in 1975. In 1985 Onik introduced automated percutaneous nucleotomy which consists in percutaneous aspiration of the nucleus pulposus. It is carried out under local anesthesia, thus reducing the surgical insult and requiring brief hospitalization, often performed on an outpatient basis. It appears to be a well-tolerated alternative to surgical diskectomy and chymopapain nucleolysis.
