The Benefits of Laser Surgery

It is only within the last ten years that laser surgery made a breakthrough in the medical field.  This has provided patients with the choice of exploring alternative methods of treatment.  These procedures continue to improve in what has already had a very successful outcome. 

Because laser surgery is a minimally invasive procedure, the incisions made are small, approximately five mm in length. This length is enough to allow small instruments to pass through and repair the damage. 

Doctors performing laser spine surgery, use a telescopic type device that has something similar to a video camera.  This is set up to work with monitors in the operating room that allow the surgeon and nurses to have an inside view of your body and allow them to perform the procedure in the specific area and with precision and care.  Depending on the damage, you may require a few incisions, however due to the size, they heal quickly and often fade to a faint line.  This is far better than the large incision made during conventional or traditional back surgery.  Patients who elect to have open back surgery are left with a large scar and due to the size of the incision, the healing takes much longer and does not fade to a faint line. 

Other benefits of laser surgery are:

• No general anesthetic
• No lengthy hospital stays
• Minimal chance of infection to the wound due to the size of the incision
• Fast recovery and return to normal daily activities

Before deciding on the right procedure for you and your condition, it is important to meet with your doctor and explore all procedures available to you.  Most patients are candidates for laser spine surgery, but to ensure that this is the right choice for you, it is key to discuss your medical history, your lifestyle before the damage occurred and your expected lifestyle after recovering from surgery.  It is recommended that you seek more than one professional opinion and before meeting with doctors, have a list of questions to ask.

Spinal Conditions Treated With Laser Surgery

Your spine may be affected by a number of conditions and all of these can have a debilitating affect on your life.

For most patients suffering from these spinal conditions, the pain is often severe and many experience chronic pain. 

Some conditions of the spine may be, but are not limited to:

• Herniated or bulging disc
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Bone Spurs
• Spinal Stenosis
• Foraminal Stenosis
• Sciatica
• Facet Disease
• Pinched Nerve

All of the above conditions may be treated through laser spine surgery.  This surgery is minimally invasive and the prognosis for recovery and no recurrence is very high.

Laser spine surgery has a number of benefits that far outweigh those of conservative back surgery.
