[Wooridul News] Wooridul Hospital, Rate Of Success On The Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy Reaches 95.7%.




 
10,228 of Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomies which have been taken from 2001 to 2012 in Seoul Gangnam Wooridul Hospital (Director Ho-jin Kim) were analyzed and resulted in 95.7% of success.
A huge clinical analysis and research paper about re-operate and the reason from Wooridul Hospital have recorded on the world SCI level of international symposium journal named ‘Neurosurgery’.
This is the first research paper which is telling about over 10,000 cases of Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy(PELD) results. These are the results of what Wooridul Hospital has been continuously studying as a leader of endoscopic treatment for 30 years.
Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy(PELD) is a way of cutting skin only 0.6cm and inserting laser and endoscopy to check and treat with the monitor screen. The laser used during surgery is really thin like a hair, and precise enough to insert the narrow space between bones and nerves, so it’s less dangerous than old open spine surgery and it treats a basical reason without transfusion and general anesthesia.
According to the research, among 10,228 of PELD used endoscopy and laser from 2001 to 2012, successful results rate is 95.7% which means highly successful. 4.3% of patients got re-operation, because herniated disc was not removed totally or it was removed but reoccurred.
PELD may be proceeded depending on the feature of herniated disc so competence of operating surgeon is very important.
Wooridul Hopital’s chairman named Sang-ho Lee wrote a journal and said “You may think the endoscopic surgery is simple but it’s very complicated and difficult for doctors, so repeat and precise technique are needed” and “I hope this research will be a scientific foundation to help doctors and patients decide their opinion about the surgery.”
