摘要： A method of positioning an arcuate catheter against an inner annular wall of the disc, and particularly on the posterior and postero-lateral portions of the inner annulus of the disc, by anthroscopy is presented. The arcuate catheter retains its predetermined arcuate shape when no pressure or force is applied to the catheter. This present device and method require no forward tip pressure on the inner annular wall of a mammalian intervertebral disc. An arcuate sheath having a cutter is used to remove tissue from the inner annulus of the disc. In another embodiment an arcuate sheath is used to progressively remove material from the interior of the mammalian intervertebral disc. In yet another embodiment, an arcuate sheath and catheter are used to remove the entire intervertebral disc and place supports to main a disc space.

摘要翻译： 提出了一种通过眼内镜将弧形导管定位在盘的内环形壁上，特别是在椎间盘内环的后侧和后外侧部分上的方法。 当没有压力或力施加到导管时，弓形导管保持其预定的弓形形状。 本发明的装置和方法在哺乳动物椎间盘的内环形壁上不需要前向尖端压力。 使用具有切割器的弓形护套从盘的内环中去除组织。 在另一个实施例中，使用弓形护套逐渐从哺乳动物椎间盘的内部去除材料。 在另一个实施例中，弓形护套和导管用于去除整个椎间盘，并将支撑件放置在主空间上。
