Intradiscal infiltration of Resadisc gel
About
Intradiscal infiltration of Resadisc gel is a medical procedure used to treat back pain associated with discs by injecting a substance called Resadisc gel directly into the intervertebral disc. This gel-like substance is designed to seal and stabilize the disc, reducing pain and promoting healing.
Candidate
Candidates for intradiscal infiltration of Resadisc gel are typically individuals suffering from chronic back pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or discogenic pain.
Preparation
Preparation for the procedure typically involves a medical history review, discussion of medications, and explanation of the procedure and potential risks.
Treatment
The treatment involves the patient lying on the procedure table, followed by the insertion of a needle into the affected intervertebral disc under fluoroscopic guidance. Resadisc gel is then injected into the disc space, where it forms a gel-like mass to stabilize the disc and alleviate pain.
Result
Results of intradiscal infiltration with Resadisc gel may vary, but many patients experience reduced pain and improved function following the procedure.
Precautions
Precautionary measures include monitoring for potential complications such as infection, nerve damage, or allergic reactions. It is essential for patients to follow post-procedure instructions provided by their healthcare provider to ensure optimal recovery and minimize risks.
