Epiduroscopy is a proven method of diagnosis and treatment for chronic radicular pain after spine surgery. The exact mechanism of pain relief after epiduroscopy remains unknown, but removal of epidural adhesions is the most prominent theory. The authors describe their own experience with the procedure and technical details of performing epiduroscopies. Limiting procedure time and … Read more
Percutaneous endoscopic techniques are modern minimally-invasive methods that enable effective treatment of pain and accompanying neurological symptoms in patients with an intervertebral disc herniation and/or other epidural pathologies. Available evidence supports their efficacy and safety therefore, they deserve a stable position in addressing specific types of spinal pathologies. Epiduroscopy is a suitable diagnostic and therapeutic … Read more
Epiduroscopy is a well-established diagnostic and to certain level therapeutic tool in complex situations, where conventional methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lack power or resolution to detect pathological changes. Such a situation is primarily failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) but also radicular pain without surgery. The aim of this study was to determine … Read more
RETROSPECTIVE MULTICENTRE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY Epiduroscopy is a percutaneous endoscopic technique with an interesting diagnostic and therapeutic potential. The study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this modern minimally invasive method in treating pain together with the accompanying neurological symptoms of patients with a failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS).
Objective. Epiduroscopy is a proven method of diagnosis and treatment for chronic radicular pain after spinal surgery, which is known as failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of drugs (the enzyme hyaluronidase and corticosteroid DEPO-Medrol) administrated into the epidural space during epiduroscopy, performed within the ventral … Read more
