 | | Percutaneous vertebroplasty may be preferred to open surgery for osteoporosis patients because of the already brittle bone. | | | Although the long-term prognosis may not be good for patients with spinal tumors, percutaneous vertebroplasty can be used for spine stabilization to improve their quality of life, pain relief and ability to function. | | | Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a relatively new minimally procedure used to treat compression fractures if traditional conservative therapy fails. |

| | Computerized tomography -- guided percutaneous bilateral selective cordotomy |
| | Percutaneous cordotomy is known to be effective and advantageous in relieving unilateral intractable cancer pain. | | | Between 1987 and 1996, 98 patients with intractable cancer pain were treated using CT-guided percutaneous cordotomy. | | | Cordotomy is an effective procedure for relieving intractable pain and has been used to treat patients with unilateral pain of the lower body and lower extremities. |

| | Percutaneous Disectomy |
| | Percutaneous disectomy or nucleotomy is a new method used to eliminate hernias of the spine at lumbar as at cervical level, without the needings of major surgery unlike the classical method used to treat these hernias until now. | | | Percutaneous disectomy is a minimal invasive technique that allows to eliminate discal hernia without the need for major surgery, anesthesia nor hospitalization. | | | This new method appears because a deficit on assuring good results for the classical surgery (laminectomy), in which 40% of the patient's present some kind of post-operatory fibrosis (defective internal scar that compresses even more the nerves previously affected by the discal hernia) whose consequences are very lamentable and must be avoided. |

| | Percutaneous discectomy is associated with reductions in complications and recovery times associated with open disc surgery. | | | This was followed in 1987 with the publication of results using this device for PLD in 36 patients [7]. | | | Clinical success with the procedure was reported to rely heavily upon a learning curve in patient selection, ranging from 55% with a widened patient selection criteria, to 80% when a more limited acceptance criterion was applied later in the series. |

| | Percutaneous Endoscopic (Arthroscopic) Cervical/Lumbar Discectomy |
| | Percutaneous cervical/lumbar discectomy is different from standard disk surgery because there is no muscle dissection, bone removal, bone fusion, or incision, except for a puncture wound to accommodate the micro-instruments that are inserted into the herniated disk. | | | Now there is a new and less traumatic procedure for some disk patients known as percutaneous micro-decompression cervical/lumbar discectomy with laser thermodiskoplasty, an outpatient procedure. | | | For many, the only treatment is surgical removal of part of the herniated disk; a major traumatic operation that requires anesthesia, the dissection of muscle and removal of bone and bone fusion. |

| | Finally, percutaneous gastrostomy has also been described without endoscopy using a nasogastric tube or gastric insufflation, fluoroscopic monitoring, and a direct percutaneous catheter insertion technique(12). | | | The purpose of this statement is to provide a current, practical basis for the use of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in patients who require long-term enteral feeding but are unable to maintain sufficient oral intake. | | | The conventional approach to enteral access in the past was to use nasogastric, nasojejunal or surgically placed gastrostomy tubes. |

| | Percutaneous - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In surgery, percutaneous pertains to any medical procedure where access to inner organs or other tissue is done via needle-puncture of the skin, rather than by using an "open" approach where inner organs or tissue are exposed (typically with the use of a scalpel). | | | This involves a needle catheter getting access to a blood vessel, followed by the introduction of a wire through the lumen of the needle. | | | The percutaneous approach is commonly used in vascular procedures. |
