Description
Marcus Marques and co-authors report a case of a slipped disc removed with help from a blue dye in 2026. The disc had moved upward into a narrow canal, which makes scope surgery hard. Fragments hide from direct view in that tight space. Their patient was a sixty one year old woman with leg pain and growing weakness.
Scans showed the disc tear and the upward move, with nerve root crush. Dye and contrast were injected into the disc before removal. Two fragments took the stain and were removed in a targeted way. Nerve checks during surgery showed motor signals recover as pressure eased. She went home the same day. Gains held at eight months.
