Laser Spine Surgery and No Surgery Laser and Super (Superior to Laser) Procedures

Laser spine surgery and procedures refers to the use of a variety of technologies including lasers and Super Laser : superior to laser energy to treat spine disorders.

The Spine Conditions that may be treated include:

1    Spine Disc disease, Disc bulges, Disc protrusions, Herniated Spine Discs, Spine Disc Extrusions.
2.     Spine Spondylosis and Stenosis and tears of the Annulus.
3.     Spine Tumors such as Spine Metastases, Neuromas, Schwannomas, Ependymomas,and others.

The different types of Laser Spine Surgery and Procedures may include:

1. Percutaneous Needle and Micro-Needle Laser and Super Laser Discoplasty, Disectomy , Nucleoplasty, Annuloplasty(PLD, PLN)
2. Percutaneous Endoscopic Laser Discetomy (PELD)
3. Percutaneous Endoscopic Laser Foraminoplasty (PELF)
4. Microsurgical Laser Disectomy (MLD)
5. Microsurgical Laser Discoplasty (MLDO)
6. Microsurgical Laser Nucleoplasty (MLN)
7. Microsurgical Laser Spinal Tumor Resection (MLSTR)

There are several different types of Laser systems that include:

1. Holmium Lasers
2. Thulium Lasers
3. Nd-Yag Lasers
4. CO2 Lasers

There are also some new “Super Lasers” (Potentially superior to Laser Energy devices) that can be used that include:

1. Plasma Energy
2. EMF-PAL Energy

In general the use of Laser spine surgery and superior to Laser spine procedures in a minimally invasive fashion allows spine surgery and no surgery spine procedures to be done quickly, often as a day procedure with return home the same day, frequently with no stitches required because of the small openings, much less pain and post-operative discomfort and lower surgical exposure risks.
