Conditions Treated with Laser Spine Surgery

Laser spine surgery can address several spinal issues, including:

  • Herniated Discs: Laser technology can shrink or remove herniated disc material that compresses nerves.
  • Spinal Stenosis: Laser surgery can help enlarge the spinal canal, relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: This technique can alleviate pain by removing damaged disc tissue.
  • Facet Disease: Laser surgery can ablate inflamed tissue in the facet joints.
  • Bone Spurs: Laser technology can precisely remove bony growths that compress nerves.

Benefits of Laser Spine Surgery

Laser spine surgery offers numerous advantages over traditional open surgery, such as:

  • Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions mean less damage to surrounding tissues.
  • Reduced Pain: Patients typically experience less postoperative pain.
  • Quicker Recovery: Faster healing times allow for a quicker return to daily activities.
  • Outpatient Procedure: Many laser spine surgeries can be performed on an outpatient basis.

The Laser Spine Surgery Procedure

Laser spine surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, allowing patients to remain awake but comfortable. The procedure involves:

  1. Incision: A small incision is made over the affected area of the spine.
  2. Insertion of Endoscope: An endoscope, a thin tube with a camera and laser attachment, is inserted through the incision.
  3. Laser Application: The surgeon uses the laser to remove or modify the damaged tissue, alleviating pressure on the nerves.
  4. Closure: The incision is closed with sutures or surgical glue.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Recovery from laser spine surgery is generally quicker and less painful than traditional spine surgery. Most patients can go home the same day and resume normal activities within a few weeks. A tailored rehabilitation program, including physical therapy, can help strengthen the spine and improve overall function.
