EDISCSCULPTLaser spine surgery is at the forefront of surgical technology, and the treatment of spine conditions in particular. It has transformed what getting surgical treatment entails for thousands of people, allowing them to recover faster and more comfortably, while still getting the same highly effective treatment offered by traditional spine surgery.
Traditional Surgery
Traditional open spine surgery took place in hospitals, where surgeons used scalpels to open up a large portion of the back. Then, in order to access and treat the condition it was often necessary to remove small amounts of vertebral bone. To re-stabilize the spine after this traumatic procedure, it wasn't uncommon for vertebral fusion or the addition of hardware to occur.
Open spine surgery takes place in a hospital, where patients must stay for 4-5 days after surgery. When they return home, patients must wait at least a month before returning to work, and a full recovery can take as long as several months. The risk of infection, bleeding, clotting, and scarring are relatively high.
Laser Spine Surgery
During laser spine surgery, an endoscopic camera is inserted into the back, allowing the doctor to see the spine without having to make a large incision. Through another small incision, a probe is inserted; this probe is used to transmit laser energy, which can dissolve excess disc tissue, as well as other types of tissue. Any other tools needed can also be inserted through small incisions.
The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting and no hospital stay is necessary. Patients can return to work in as little as a week, and make a full recovery in just 6 weeks.
Laser surgery can be used for the majority of people who have chronic back pain; a wide range of spine conditions, including herniated discs, bulging discs, and bone spurs all respond well to it. However, people with rare or serious spine conditions will still need to undergo traditional spine surgery.
