Nucleoplasty Spine
Nucleoplasty is a relatively new advancement in the field of
spine surgery. It is a procedure used to reduce disc pressure in
patients suffering from discogenic (disc related) backache. It is
a percutaneous procedure in which some of the disc material

is disintegrated to relieve the intra discal pressure using a low
temperature resistor. As it does not require any incision over
the body, it is beneficial for patients complaining of back pain
with disc pathology and unwilling to undergo full fledged
discectomy.
The intervertebral discs are soft, cushion like structures
between two adjacent vertebral bones in the human spine.j p
Their main function is shock absorption. These discs are
hydrated and are made up of a central structure called the
nucleus pulposus and a surrounding structure called as annulus
fibrosis But with age they lose their water content and thefibrosis. But with age they lose their water content and the
disc becomes hard and begins to degenerate.

A specialized catheter is then introduced through the needle
into the disc and positioned where the ablation is desired. The
