PROCEDURE

Endoscopic rhizotomy

Endoscopic rhizotomy (facet joint denervation) is carried out through the insertion of an endoscope to the medial spinal nerve area with the help of mobile C-arm x-ray guidance. The tissue surrounding the medial nerves is endoscopically visualized and dissected with a sterile grasper to expose the nerve structure. Finally, a radiofrequency probe is used to ablate the problematic medial branch nerve under direct endoscopic control. The procedure is concluded with the removal of the endoscope and the small incision is closed with 1-2 skin sutures.
