Lumbar Disc Herniation

Brief summary

To compare between local anesthesia combined with intravenous Dexmedetomidine and epidural analgesia as regard the effectiveness and patient satisfaction during percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy.

Detailed description

Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy. under LA is recommended in consideration of safety. Under LA, patients keep conscious during the process of PTED, and the surgeon can obtain feedback directly from the patients if the nerve is interfered. Dexmedetomidine, a highly selective alpha 2 adrenoreceptor agonist, has unique characteristics in providing sedation and analgesia. Due to its central sympatholytic action, Dexmedetomidine produces dose-dependent sedation, antinociception and anxiolysis. Epidural anesthesia is another major method which can keep patients awake during surgery and the surgeons can check the function of the nerve from the maintained motor function of patients' lower limbs

Interventions

DRUGDexmedetomidine Hydrochloride 'Precedex' combined with

Dexmedetomidine Hydrochloride which is an Alfa 2 receptor agonist

PROCEDURELumbar epidural analgesia with Bupivacaine 0.25% 'Sunnypivacaine'

The epidural insertion point will be 2 segments upper than the surgical procedure level, 10 ml of Bupivacaine 0.25% will be injected in the epidural space to adjust the sensory level

PROCEDUREGeneral anesthesia

Propofol 2-3 mg/kg'Diprivan 1%', Fentanyl 'Fentanyl' 2 μg/kg, and Cisatracurium 'Cisatracure' 0.2 mg/kg will be administered to facilitate endotracheal intubation, and ventilation will be controlled to maintain the end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) between 32-38 mmHg, to maintain anesthesia, 2-3% Sevoflurane 'Sevoflurane', and 0.05 mg/kg of the muscle relaxant Cisatracurium will be added at 40-minute intervals according to the conditions of the operation. No other medication will be administered

DRUGLocal infiltration with Lidocaine HCL 1%'Debocaine'

Lidocaine 1% which is a local analgesic as local infiltration
