“…As complications, persistent inflammation of the nerve root and intervertebral arthrosis associated with a decrease in the intervertebral space have been reported. Several studies indicated the efficacy of PD combined with epidural/nerve root/intervertebral joint blocking for persistent inflammation of the nerve root [7]. Recently, PD has been improved to become safer and less invasive, and various techniques, including the use of laser, have been applied.…”

In 1972, Hijikata et al. established percutaneous discectomy (PD), which is a procedure aiming at symptom relief for disc herniation through a reduction in nerve root irritation associated with a decrease in intervertebral disc pressure [1,2]. Furthermore, herniation reduction is achieved through secondary cicatricial contraction of the intervertebral discs. PD has subsequently been modified to be a safer, noninvasive procedure, and has been applied in various forms, such as with the use of laser, including the Disc-Fx ® . The Disc-Fx ® facilitates nucleus pulposus transpiration or fiber ring thermocoagulation in addition to conventional nucleus pulposus extenteration using forceps (Hijikata's procedure) [3][4][5]. In this study, we report a patient for whom Interventional Radiology-Computed Tomography (IVR-CT)-guided Percutaneous Endoscopic Radiofrequency Annuloplasty (PERA) was performed for the thoracic disc herniation to reduce the incidence of complications and improve treatment results, leading to a favorable outcome [6].
