Background: Cervical disc nucleoplasty is a significant and clinically demonstrated innovation in percutaneous disc decompression in case of non-herniated disc protrusions or prolpase. It allows a percutaneous decompression via a 19-gauge needle under utilization of the Coblation technique and under C-arm control. Until now the patients suffering of a cervicobrachialgia in cause of a disc prolapse had only the therapeutical solution between conservative treatment and monosegmental spondylodesis or disc prosthesis of the mentioned motion segment.

Methods: We wanted to demonstrate a new and practicable anatomical pathway for reaching the cervical disc prolapse comparable to the technique for discography of the cervical spine. The introducer needle is advanced into the disc under fluoroscopic guidance using a standard anterior-lateral approach. The controller delivers radiofrequency energy to quickly a...
