Izigulane ezineentlungu ezisezantsi ngoku zinokufikelela kwinkqubo entsha enika isiqabu esihlala ixesha elide kwiintlungu ezisezantsi. Inkqubo encinci ye-invasive, i-FDA-evunyiweyo yezigulane eziphuma ngaphandle ibizwa ngokuba yi-Intracept, kunye ne-St Elizabeth Healthcare kuphela kwenkqubo esekelwe esibhedlele e-Greater Cincinnati apho ifumaneka khona. Le nkqubo intsha inika izigulane ezingakhange zibe nempumelelo yonyango ithuba lokukhululeka ixesha elide kwiintlungu.
"Sinezigulane ezininzi ezibuhlungu ezingapheliyo eziye zazama iinkqubo kunye neyeza ngaphandle koncedo," kusho uLance Hoffman, MD, iNgcali yokuLawula iintlungu eziPhambili kwiSt. Elizabeth Healthcare. Kuyaqondakala ukuba bayakhathazeka kuba beqhubeka bephila neentlungu ezingapheliyo. I-Spinal Intracept sisisombululo esisebenzayo sokunyanga iintlungu ezingapheliyo ezisezantsi kumthombo wayo. "
Ngexesha lenkqubo, i-incision encinci yazisa inaliti kumzimba we-vertebral. Ukusebenzisa i-X-ray imaging ekhokelwayo, ingcali ikhokela inaliti kwindawo echanekileyo kwithambo ngaphakathi komzimba we-vertebral. Isixhobo esincinci sohlobo lwehuku lomalusi senza umjelo oya kumbindi wethambo ukuya kumthambo wesiseko. I-Intracept probe (i-electrode) ifakwe kumzimba we-vertebral kwaye ikhupha amandla e-radiofrequency (ubushushu) kwi-nerve yesiseko, ekhubaza i-nerve. Le nkqubo ibizwa ngokuba yi-basivertebral ablation.
Inkqubo ye-Intracept ibandakanya ukwenza i-incision encinci kwinqanaba ngalinye le-vertebral elibangela ukuba intlungu yesigulane igxininise imizimba ye-vertebral echaphazelekayo. Kuthatha malunga nemizuzu eli-15 kwinqanaba ngalinye, kunye nenkqubo yonke ehlala ngaphantsi kweyure enye. Iincinci ezincinci zivaliwe ngeglue yotyando. Emva kokuchitha ixesha lokubuyisela, isigulane sibuyela ekhaya ukuze siqhubeke siphumla. Izigulana zidla ngokubuyela kwimisebenzi yazo yemihla ngemihla ngeentsuku ezimbalwa.
Idatha ekhutshwe kwi-European Spine Journal kwi-2021 ibonisa ukukhululeka kweentlungu ezibuhlungu kwizigulane ezibuhlungu ezingapheliyo: i-33% ibike ukuba akukho ntlungu kwaye ngaphezu kwesiqingatha sezigulane ezinokunciphisa i-75% kwintlungu kwiminyaka emihlanu. Iintlungu ezisezantsi zichaphazela abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ze-31 kwaye sesinye sezizathu eziqhelekileyo abantu babona ugqirha wabo. Le nkqubo yexesha elinye inokunciphisa kakhulu intlungu yomqolo kwaye iyindlela eyamkelekileyo kubantu abaninzi abaneentlungu ezingapheliyo.
