EDISCSCULPTA doctor will only recommend herniated disc surgery because he or she believes that the benefits of surgical treatment outweigh the potential risk of side effects. However, when you are considering herniated disc surgery, it's important to be fully aware of the potential problems that could occur.
Open Back Surgery
Laser herniated disc surgery comes with a significantly lower risk of side effects than does open back surgery. Because open back surgery involves making a large incision on the spine and performing a very invasive procedure. It's often necessary for doctors to perform major interventions like the fusion of vertebral bones in order to control the damage done during this type of surgery. Patients may develop a number of side effects, including:
Laser spine surgery has a much lower risk of side effects related to the incision, such as bleeding, infection, and blood clots. In addition, the risk of issues like nerve damage and failure to resolve symptoms can be reduced by choosing a doctor with excellent surgical skills. Laser spine surgery is a highly technical procedure that requires a great deal of expertise, so choosing a great surgeon can help ensure you get the best treatment possible.
The overall risk of developing complications as a result of laser spine surgery is quite low, but patients should still be fully informed of the potential for problems to develop. As you go through pre-operative appointments with your physician, he will discuss potential side effects and how to reduce your risk in more detail.
