Application of grid-like locator in percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy for lumbar disc hernia-tion in young adults
Objective To investigate the application effect of grid-like locator in percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy(TESSYS)technology for lumbar disc herniation(LDH)in young adults.Methods Using a randomized controlled study method,102 young adults with LDH were included and divided into the control group and the observation group,with 51 cases in each group.Patients in the control group underwent TESSYS technology,while patients in the observation group underwent TESSYS technology with a grid-like locator.The perioperative indicators,complications,good to excellent surgical rate,the pre-and post-operative pain mediators[5-hydroxy-tryptamine(5-HT),substance P(SP)],Oswestry disability index(ODI),visual analogue scale(VAS),Cobb angle,and lumbar curvature index were compared between the two groups.Results The operation time of patients in the observation group was shorter than that of the control group,and the intraoperative blood loss and the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy were less than those of the control group(P<0.05).The levels of serum 5-HT and SP,and VAS score 3 days after surgery in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the serum pain mediators,VAS scores,ODI scores,Cobb angles,or lumbar curvature indexes 3 months,6 months,and 12 months after surgery between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference between the observation group and the control group in the incidence of complications(4.16%vs.10.64%),good to excellent surgical rate(89.58%vs.85.11%)12 months after surgery(P>0.05).Conclusion The application of a grid-like locator in TESSYS technology for young adults with LDH can help to reduce the intraoperative fluoroscopy,alleviate pain symptoms,and shorten the operation time.
