The Research Progress of Percutanous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy Treating Lumbar Vertebrae Disease

Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (PELD) technique belongs to minimally invasive technique with the advantages of minimal trauma, less bleeding, rapid postoperative recovery, fewer complications and little affection on the spine stability. It is originally used to treat lumbar discherniation, namely percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy. Lumbardisc herniation is a common disease and most of them can be treated through conservative treatment to achieve clinical cure results. But if the conservative treatment is ineffective, the patients require operative treatment. However, traditional surgical treatment has the features of large trauma, more bleeding and slow postoperative recovery. With the development of minimally invasive techniques, spine surgeons pay much attention to Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (PELD) technique. Furthermore, the indications of this technique also extend stolumbar spine instability, discogenic low back pain, lumbar spinal stenosis and other diseases [1]. This paper will summarize the development, anesthesia, indications and clinical efficacy of this technique.
