Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PTED) is a procedure that is commonly used to treat lumbar disc herniation and spinal stenosis. Despite its less invasiveness, this surgery is rarely used to treat spinal metastases. Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) has been utilized to treat lumbar vertebral body metastases but it has not proven useful in treating sciatic patients.
