Iziguli ezinezinhlungu ezingezansi manje sezikwazi ukufinyelela enkambisweni entsha emisha enikeza ukukhululeka okuhlala isikhathi eside kubuhlungu obuphansi beqolo. Inqubo yokulaliswa ngaphandle engenele kancane, egunyazwe yi-FDA ibizwa nge-Intracept, futhi i-St. Elizabeth Healthcare iwukuphela kwesistimu esekelwe esibhedlela e-Greater Cincinnati lapho itholakala khona. Le nqubo entsha inikeza iziguli ezingakaze zibe nempumelelo yokwelashwa ithuba lokukhululeka ezinhlungwini isikhathi eside.
"Sineziguli eziningi ezibuhlungu ezingapheli eziye zazama izinqubo nemithi ukuze ziphumelele," kusho uLance Hoffman, MD, I-Interventional Pain Management Specialist e-St. Elizabeth Healthcare. “Kuyabacika ukuthi bayaqhubeka bephila nezinhlungu ezingapheli. I-Spinal Intracept iyisixazululo esisebenzayo sokwelapha ubuhlungu obungapheli obuphansi emuva emthonjeni wawo. "
Phakathi nenqubo, i-incision encane ifaka inaliti emzimbeni we-vertebral. Esebenzisa izithombe ze-X-ray eziqondisiwe, uchwepheshe uqondisa inaliti endaweni eqondile ethanjeni ngaphakathi komzimba we-vertebral. Ithuluzi elincane lohlobo lwehuku likamalusi lidala umgudu oqonde maphakathi nethambo kuya kumthambo oyisisekelo. I-Intracept probe (i-electrode) ifakwa emzimbeni we-vertebral futhi ikhiphe amandla e-radiofrequency (ukushisa) emthanjeni oyisisekelo, ovimbela inzwa. Le nqubo ibizwa ngokuthi i-basivertebral ablation.
Inqubo ye-Intracept ihilela ukusika okuncane phezu kwezinga ngalinye le-vertebral okubangela ukuthi ubuhlungu besiguli buthuntubeze imizimba yama-vertebral ethintekile. Kuthatha cishe imizuzu eyi-15 ngeleveli ngayinye, nayo yonke inqubo ehlala isikhathi esingaphansi kwehora elilodwa. Izimbobo ezincane zivaliwe ngeglue yokuhlinzwa. Ngemva kokuchitha isikhathi sokululama, isiguli sibuyela ekhaya ukuze siqhubeke siphumule. Iziguli ngokuvamile zibuyela emisebenzini yazo yansuku zonke phakathi nezinsuku ezimbalwa.
Idatha ekhishwe kuyi-European Spine Journal ngo-2021 ibonisa ukukhululeka okukhulu kobuhlungu ezigulini ezibuhlungu ezingapheli: ama-33% abike ukuthi abukho ubuhlungu futhi ngaphezu kwesigamu seziguli okungenani zinciphise ubuhlungu ngo-75% eminyakeni emihlanu. Ubuhlungu obuphansi emuva buthinta abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-31 futhi kungenye yezizathu ezivame kakhulu abantu babona udokotela wabo. Le nqubo yesikhathi esisodwa inganciphisa kakhulu ubuhlungu bokubuyela emuva futhi iyindlela eyamukelekayo kubantu abaningi abahlushwa ubuhlungu obungapheli.
