Abstract: A method for treating or repairing a damaged spinal disc of a patient may include inserting, using medical imaging, a shaft with a lumen extending from an exterior of a patient to the damaged spinal disc, dispensing copper particles, using the lumen, to the damaged spinal disc, and removing the hollow shaft from the patient. A system may include a syringe and copper particles in the syringe. A kit may include copper particles, and at least one of a guidewire, one or more dilators, a tubular retractor, a disposable endoscope, a disposable laser fiber; an endoscopic ronjeurs, indigo carmine dye, or a fluid adaptor.

Abstract: A method of performing a rhizotomy includes directing an electrocautery probe through an incision in the body of a patient, navigating a distal tip of the probe to a location adjacent a target nerve, energizing the probe to deliver energy to the target nerve, and moving the distal tip of the probe in a plurality of directions to direct the energy at the target nerve.

Abstract: A method for treating or repairing a damaged spinal disc of a patient may include inserting, using medical imaging, a shaft with a lumen extending from an exterior of a patient to the damaged spinal disc, dispensing silver particles, using the lumen, to the damaged spinal disc, and removing the hollow shaft from the patient. A system may include a syringe and silver particles in the syringe. A kit may include silver particles, and at least one of a guidewire, one or more dilators, a tubular retractor, a disposable endoscope, a disposable laser fiber; an endoscopic ronjeurs, indigo carmine dye, or a fluid adaptor.
