Endoscopic Laser Spine Surgery Save You From Traditional Open Back Surgery

Last updated 1 year ago

Millions of Americans currently suffer from back pain caused by sports injuries, work-related injuries, arthritis, and a range of other conditions. Pain in this complex area of the body can severely limit mobility and diminish a person’s quality of life. Fortunately, there are now advanced minimally invasive treatment options that can safely alleviate the symptoms of back problems with less discomfort and reduced recovery time.

In recent years, endoscopic laser spine surgery has been introduced as a minimally invasive way to remove damaged spine and disc tissue without damaging the surrounding soft tissue. Unlike traditional open surgical procedures, which need to be performed through long, open incisions, laser spine surgery is performed through incisions only centimeters in length with advanced imaging and surgical equipment. Although this surgical technique can be used to treat a wide variety of spine conditions, it is most commonly used to alleviate the pain associated with a herniated disc.

Laser spine surgery can give patients many benefits over traditional open surgery, including:

No hospital stay: All laser spine surgeries are performed on a minimally invasive, outpatient basis with same-day discharge.
No general anesthesia: During the entire one-hour procedure, patients are awake under IV sedation to provide feedback to their surgeons.
Short procedures: Laser spine surgeries typically last approximately one hour.
Nerve monitoring: Continuous nerve monitoring is performed to ensure safety throughout the procedure and minimize any damage to the surrounding nerves.
Faster recovery times: This surgical technique will get you back to your daily activities faster.
Other benefits: Minimally invasive spine surgery is performed at lower cost with reduced risk of surgical complications, lower risk of infection, and less discomfort.
