However, some patients are treated with a surgical procedure known as a
diskectomy.
A 63-year-old female with a history of spondylolisthesis underwent L4-L5
diskectomy and facetectomy with cage placement for back and leg pain.
The patient was transferred to the operating room for corpectomy and
diskectomy with decompression and irrigation with vancomycin saline.
Duropleural fistula manifested as a large pleural transudate: an unusual complication of transthoracic
diskectomy.
Diskectomy in temporomandibular joints with internal derangement: a follow study.
The study included 328 men and women, ages 18-70, 167 of whom were assigned to tubular
diskectomy and 161 of whom received microdiskectomy.

FOLLOWING A CERVICAL
DISKECTOMY PERFORMED AT LONG ISLAND JEWISH MEDICAL CENTER BY DR.
1999) measured patient expectations and general and specific functional outcomes preoperatively in 273 patients who were undergoing lumbar
diskectomy.
Intervention: Subjects were randomized to two groups: either standard open
diskectomy under local or general anesthesia, or "usual care" with physical therapy, home exercises, and anti-inflammatories as needed.
The existing literature does not appear to accurately reflect modern surgical outcomes after pediatric
diskectomy.
Juan Ronderos, a board-eligible neurosurgeon employed by Coastal, determined that the patient had two surgical options: a thoracoscopic
diskectomy (a closed procedure) or a thoracotomy (an open procedure).
