  "I have been using ArthroCare's Perc-D surgical device in my practice to treat patients with contained herniated discs," said Yung Chen M.D., assistant professor of functional restoration who directs the Stanford Interventional Spine Center.

  An additional study by Yung Chen, M.D. on ArthroCare's DISC Nucleoplasty was published in the April edition of Spine, showing percutaneous plasma discectomy dramatically reduces intradiscal pressure in normal and moderately degenerated discs.

  A procedure called nucleoplasty performed by Dr. Yung Chen, Director of Stanford International Spine Centre.It was designed to treat herniated disk, a condition in which the soft, gel-like substance found in the centre of a disk presses on the spinal nerves, causing pain in the lower back, numbness or weakness in the legs.He uses nucleoplasty to remove problem tissue and apply controlled levels of heat to the affected disk and low thermal energy to relieve pressure in an intervertebral disk.
  
  During the procedure, he mildly sedates his patient and with the guidance of X-ray images, advances a needle into the disk.He then place a special wand through the needle, releasing radio-frequency energy that heats the area, evaporating the nucleus material inside the disk.The goal is to decrease disk pressure so that it does not pinch the nerve and the pain is taken away.Nucleoplasty claims to have a number of benefits over invasive surgery.For one, the procedure is quick and painless and the recovery time is minimal.

  "In our recently completed clinical outcome study, Nucleoplasty has been shown to be highly effective in treating the symptoms associated with contained herniated discs," said Yung Chen, M.D., Director of the Interventional Spine Center at Stanford University."In addition, cadaver spine research conducted at our center has demonstrated a marked decrease in disc pressure secondary to Nucleoplasty, which could be the mechanism for the promising clinical results."
  
  The Nucleoplasty technique, based on ArthroCare's Coblation® technology, was introduced for minimally invasive treatment of contained herniated discs in June, 2000.The company estimates more than 3,000 Nucleoplasty procedures have been performed to date.Publication of clinical results is pending.For more information about ArthroCare's minimally invasive and open spine surgery procedures, visit the company at booth #825 at NASS, or ArthroCare's Nucleoplasty website, http://www.nucleoplasty.com/.

  Such a comeback is incredibly risky, said Dr. Yung Chen, director of the Interventional Spine Center at Stanford Medical Center.He was not familiar with Meroshnekoff's case, but said that he tells patients with similar spinal injuries -- Meroshnekoff's fusion involves the lumbar and thoracic spine -- to avoid all contact sports, and even downhill skiing.
  
  "That's crazy," Chen said."He's putting his life at risk."Chen said that patients with similar spinal fusions not only increase their chances of injuring the affected vertebra, because the fusion limits mobility, but also are at risk of injuring their spine at the pivot points below and above the fusion, due to added pressure.
