[Method] in April 2006 ~ December 2008, at METRX X-Tube expansion of casing, minimally invasive percutaneous lumbar vertebra were treated Bertolotti syndrome in 13 cases. 4 males, 9 females, aged 24 to 43 years, mean 34 years, Santavirta are I-type, duration of 1 to 6 years, the average 3.4 years. using VAS score, ODI score and the final follow up patients to determine the subjective feeling of efficacy. [results] and blood loss 120 ~ 800 ml, operative time was 60 ~ 280 min (mean 115 min, no serious surgical complications. 9 patients received long-term follow up for 10 to 18 months (average 13.6 months. VAS score from preoperative (6.7 + -2.2 hours, reduced after 1 week (2.2 + -0.7 hours, 3 months (2.8 + -0.9 hours, ODI score from preoperative (27.8 + -3.6 hours reduced after 3 months (5.9 + -2.2 minutes. Compared with the preoperative difference was statistically significant (P lt;0.01. Last Clinical follow-up assessment: excellent in 10 cases, good in 3 cases, good rate of 100%. [Conclusion] Minimally invasive surgery for lumbar transverse process forming Bertolotti syndrome type I patients, compared with the traditional method, simple operation, less bleeding, damage etc, and disc herniation in patients with the merger of surgery can I deal with.
