Figure 2 (A) Patient A; (Left) the sagittal and axial T2-weighted lumbar spine MRI shows a massive right central herniated lumbar disc at L4-5. (Right) The wand with a curved tip is inserted into the L4-5 intervertebral disc to perform the percutaneous disc decompression, and the tip is placed near the herniated disc. (B) Patient B; (Left) the sagittal and axial T2-weighted lumbar spine MRI reveals a large right central herniated lumbar disc at L5-S1. (Right) The wand is inserted into the L5-S1 intervertebral disc with the tip placed near the herniated disc.
