Journal Title: The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 68, Issue 1
Abstract
Background:clinical outcome data was analyzed for 100 patients withcontained disc herniation who underwent percutaneous discdecompression procedure using Coblation® technology,after failing to respond toconservative management.

And according to Oswestry disability index for functional assessment. The mean pre procedure index was 31.48 range from 23-40. It decreased after 12 month to 13.82 range from 5-32.
