Patient Selection Criteria"},"content":{"rendered":"

Nucleoplasty, used in the treatment of lumbar and cervical hernia is a non-surgical and minimally invasive method<\/strong>. However, not all patients may be suitable for this procedure. In this article, we will examine in detail who is suitable for nucleoplasty and the patient selection criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>To whom can nucleoplasty be applied?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Patients with the following conditions may be suitable candidates for nucleoplasty treatment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Patients with Mild and Moderate Hernia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Nucleoplasty is an effective solution in cases where the disc has not yet completely ruptured, but is compressing the nerves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • MRI imaging of herniation not at an advanced level<\/strong> must be seen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    \u2705 People with Chronic Low Back or Neck Pain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Lasting at least 3 months<\/strong> and is suitable for patients with low back or neck pain that does not improve with traditional treatment methods (physiotherapy, medications).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      \u2705 Leg or arm pain due to nerve compression<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • As a result of nerve compression pain radiating to the legs or arms<\/strong> If it is felt, nucleoplasty can relieve the pain by reducing the compression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        \u2705 Patients who do not want to undergo surgery or are not suitable for surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • For patients who wish to avoid open surgery a non-surgical option<\/strong> presents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Elderly or chronically ill people at high risk of anaesthesia<\/strong> It is also a safer treatment method.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          \u2705 Patients with unrestricted mobility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Nucleoplasty is more effective in patients who have not completely lost mobility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Not suitable for patients with stroke or severe neurological loss<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            <\/span>For whom is nucleoplasty not suitable?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Nucleoplasty is not recommended in the following cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u274c Severe Hernia or Spinal Stenosis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Nucleoplasty may not be effective if the disc has completely ruptured or if there is a severe stenosis of the spinal canal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Such patients often need surgical intervention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              \u274c Patients with spinal infection or tumour<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Nucleoplasty is not safe in patients with infections or tumours in the spine area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                \u274c Advanced Nerve Damage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Loss of strength in the foot, loss of urinary or faecal control advanced neurological symptoms<\/strong> surgical intervention may be required for patients who show signs of a disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  \u274c Patients with Bone Resorption (Osteoporosis)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  • In patients with advanced osteoporosis, nucleoplasty may not be a suitable procedure because the spine structure is weakened.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    <\/span>Pre-Nucleoplasty Evaluation Process<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    To determine whether you are a candidate for nucleoplasty, your doctor will make the following assessments<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \ud83d\udccc MRI and X-ray:<\/strong> The location and severity of the hernia are assessed.
                    \ud83d\udccc Physical Examination:<\/strong> Signs of nerve compression are checked.
                    \ud83d\udccc Medical History:<\/strong> Previous treatments and the general health status of the patient are taken into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Usually Patients between the ages of 18 and 70<\/strong> can be applied. However, the general health status and bone structure of the patient should be evaluated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    <\/span>3. Can diabetics have nucleoplasty?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                    In some cases, yes. However, the patient's previous surgical history and current disc condition should be examined in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
