CT‐Guided Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression for Lumbar Discogenic Radiculopathy‐Performance of a Novel Combi‐Therapy

Abstract

On the basis of reported immediate and short‐term excruciating pain by patients in the post‐procedural period of computed tomography (CT)‐guided percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) in our clinic, we present our initial clinical experience with a novel combi‐therapy using a combination of CT‐guided PLDD and CT‐guided epidural nerve blocks, which proved effective in managing the pain.
