Application of extracorporeal collagenase chemonucleolysis and combined intradiscal and extracorporeal collagenase chemonucleolysis via FLEX electrode in patients with lumbar disc herniation: a retrospective study
FLEX electrode application in conjunction with two collagenase injection strategies enhances therapeutic outcomes. Short-term results favor ECCNL alone, whereas long-term benefits are more pronounced with the intradiscal-extracorporeal therapy.
