This most complete monograph so far published on the subject analyses all aspects related to the etiopathogenesis, pathomorphology, diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Five chapters are dedicated to biological and pathomorphologic aspects, while five deal with the clinical presentation and diagnostic tests in both extreme depth and breadth. Much space is devoted to conservative, percutaneous and surgical treatments, as well as the causes and management of failed back syndrome.
You may know a lumbar herniated disc by its many names: slipped disc, bulging disc, or ruptured disc. Or you may know it by its most common symptom: the burning, radiating leg pain known as sciatica. If you are afflicted by this common lower back problem, you will benefit from learning as much as you can about your condition and how it can be treated. That's where this book comes in. Compiled from the best doctor-authored, peer-reviewed articles of Spine-health.com, the book gives information about spine anatomy, how lumbar herniated discs are diagnosed, and-most importantly-what treatment options are available to ease pain and restore quality of life.
A Herniated Disc can be a debilitating injury that can make a person feel helpless. This excruciating pain in a person's lower back can be life changing. Many people are affected by a Herniated Disc and feel as if nothing but surgery can help them. In my experience as a board certified Doctor of Physical Therapy, I have seen that there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding this condition. Therefore, my goal with this publication is to educate people who are suffering from a Herniated Disc and help them get their normal lives back. Most often, people can be helped tremendously with conservative treatments however they are unsure of what to do to accomplish this. The treatments that I have included are clinically proven in the research community and in my own personal clinical experience. I describe these treatments in detail and show their appropriate progressions. I also list my free supplemental videos for the exercises talked about on my YouTube Channel: Physical Therapy 101. The videos not only show the exercises but show how to correctly perform them which is essential to recovery. I also include some bonus treatments for Sciatica because these two conditions can affect a person simultaneously.A Herniated Disc does not have to be debilitating, it can be treated effectively with conservative management. With correct treatment, people can return to their daily lives without being affected by this condition.
Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery by Dong Hwa Heo,Cheol Woong Park,Sang Kyu Son,Jin Hwa Eum Pdf
Biportal endoscopic spine surgery has been rapidly developed recently, and Unilateral biportal endoscopic spine (UBE) surgery may be new stream in spine surgery. UBE surgery is a new concept of surgery that is different from the existing one portal endoscopic surgery, and has the advantage of being familiar with spinal surgeons as the surgical anatomy is similar to a general surgical method, and the learning curve period is short. The 4mm diameter endoscope provides a very clear image, and it can be safely operated under magnified and clear endoscopic view. It is also available to use general surgical instruments in addition to endoscopic surgical instruments during UBE approaches. Currently it is being performed not only in the lumbar spine, but also in the cervical and thoracic spine. In addition, simple laminectomy, disc removal, and spinal fusion are possible. With the advancement of UBE surgery, spinal surgeons from various countries have been performing UBE in recent years, and it is gradually spreading to the world. This will be the first book summarizing from basic to advanced techniques with abundant illustrations and video aid for easy understanding.

Lumbar Disc Adult Hydrocephalus by R. Wüllenweber,M. Brock,J. Hamer,M. Klinger,O. Spoerri Pdf
The Neurosurgeons of Berlin are happy to welcome their colleagues from Germany and from foreign countries to our Annual Meeting, being held in this city once again after many years. The external appearance of the city may have changed in many respects since our winter meeting in 1965. This ist not the case, however, as concerns the outstanding quality of its cultural life. We hope that you take as much profit of it as possible. When choosing the scientific themes of this congress, we were led by the idea that problems should be discussed which are not dealt with at special symposia this year. Thus, the problems related to lumbar disc surgery and its complications were chosen as one main topic. This important chapter of neurosurgery worries (and not seldom depresses) us in our daily work. A joint statistic analysis has been made, for which we are indebted to the colleagues from the following university clinics: Essen, Freiburg, Graz, Hannover, Heidelberg, Kiel, Koln, Mainz, Wiirzburg, Berlin-Charlottenburg, Berlin Steglitz, of the Neurosurgical Department of the BG-U nfallklinik Frankfurt/Main, of the Neurosurgical Department Wagner-J auregg-Krankenhaus Linz, of the Neurosurgical Clinic of the Katharinen-Hospital Stuttgart, and of the Neurosurgical Clinic of the Stadt.

The Disc and Degenerative Disc Disease by Luigi Manfrè,Johan Van Goethem Pdf
This easy-to-consult guide examines the most advanced techniques in the radiological evaluation of the disc and degenerative disc disease, using conventional, functional, dynamic and advanced imaging. It provides clear information on a range of CT, X-ray, and MRI guided techniques, presents all disc treatments in connection with symptomatic disc herniations, evaluates conservative, chemical (ESI, steroid, Ozone, ethanol gel injections) and physical treatments (coblation, laser, decompressors, endoscopy), and assesses the possibility of repairing and/or regenerating the disc in the context of reversible disc degeneration. Like other books in the Springer series New Procedures in Spinal Interventional Neuroradiology, this practice-oriented volume will fill a significant gap in the literature and meet the need expressed by many specialists (interventional neuroradiologists and radiologists, neurosurgeons, and orthopedists) for a topical and handy guide that specifically illustrates the currently available materials and methods.

Discs protect the bones (vertebrae) that make up the spine in the back. These discs are round, like small pillows, and have a tough outer layer (annulus) that surrounds the nucleus. Discs are made of cartilage and are between each of the vertebrae in the spine. They function as shock absorbers for the vertebrae. A herniated disc also called a bulged, slipped, or ruptured disc happens when a piece of the disc nucleus is pushed through a tear or break in the annulus and into the spinal canal. When a disc bulges, it is usually in the early stages of wearing out. The spinal canal is small, which does not have enough room for the spinal nerve and the herniated disc fragment that has moved. Because of this, the disc pushes on the spinal nerves, which can cause pain that can be very bad. Most herniated discs happen in the lower back, and they are induced by wear and tear that comes with age. But any disc in your spine can pop out of place. Some individuals are born with spinal canals that are narrower than normal or with other problems that make them more likely to have a herniated disc. Most herniated discs happen when someone lifts something heavy or goes through a traumatic event like a car crash. A herniated disc is also common because of the wear and tear that comes with getting older. Most of the time, a herniated disc is treated conservatively with over-the-counter pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, ice packs, and heat therapy. Physical therapy may also be suggested to help stretch and strengthen the muscles that support your spine. If conservative treatments don't help alleviate your pain or if your herniated disc is making your arms or legs weak, numb, or tingle, you may need surgery to remove the damaged part of the disc and relieve the pressure on your nerves. In this quick start guide, we'll discuss the following in detail: What are the symptoms of herniated discs? What causes herniated discs? How is it diagnosed? What are the complications of herniated discs? What are the medical treatments for herniated discs? How can you prevent herniated discs? Managing herniated discs through natural methods. Managing herniated discs through diet. Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about managing herniated discs through diet and other natural methods!

Consults in Obstetric Anesthesiology by Suzanne K. W. Mankowitz Pdf
This text addresses the need for a book specifically aimed at obstetric anesthesia and covers topics such as pulmonary, cardiac renal, hepatic, hematologic, neurologic, endocrine and other diseases. The real anesthetic challenge arises when patients present to Labor and Delivery with unusual or complicated medical problems and, in recent years, a few of the larger institutions have developed an Obstetric Anesthesiology Consultation Service to prepare for the management of these patients. While most pregnant women who present to Labor and Delivery require anesthetic intervention, they typically meet the anesthesiologist for the first time in labor. Since the majority of laboring women are healthy without significant comorbidities, this does not present much of a challenge to the anesthesiologist and the anesthetic management tends to be straight-forward with favorable outcomes. However, using this new model, the anesthesiologist has the opportunity to discuss the various treatment modalities and potentially suggest diagnostic testing to be performed prior to delivery, similar to the pre-operative testing that is done in other surgical environments.
