Racz Catheter Caudal Neurolysis/Epiduroscopy
Racz Catheter Caudal Neurolysis/Epiduroscopy
Epiduroscopy/Racz Catheter Caudal Neurolysis is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat chronic lower back and leg pain caused by scar tissue and inflammation around spinal nerves. Surgeons insert a specialized catheter through a small incision at the base of the spine and use targeted medication to dissolve scar tissue and reduce inflammation. This relieves pressure on the nerves and alleviates pain.
​
This outpatient procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes and offers benefits such as minimal scarring, preserved mobility, and swift recovery. It is ideal for patients with persistent lower back or leg pain that is unresponsive to conservative treatments.

How Racz Catheter Caudal Neurolysis Works
Racz catheter caudal neurolysis involves making a small incision through which a specialized catheter is inserted at the base of the spine. Guided by live imaging, surgeons deliver medication to dissolve scar tissue and reduce inflammation around the spinal nerves. This reduces pressure on the nerves, alleviating symptoms such as pain and numbness.
​
This technique's minimally invasive nature results in shorter recovery times, reduced scarring, and preserved mobility. Racz catheter caudal neurolysis is highly effective in treating chronic lower back and leg pain, significantly enhancing patients' quality of life.
