Prolapsed Disc Surgery at Laser Spine Institute

If you are considering prolapsed disc surgery, you’ll want to learn more about the procedures we offer at Laser Spine Institute (LSI). Our highly trained surgeons use groundbreaking endoscopic techniques that effectively treat the symptoms of prolapsed discs without causing excessive trauma to the surrounding tissue. That isn’t the case with the traditional, open-back or -neck surgeries that are often performed to treat damaged discs.

Here are some other differences between traditional prolapsed disc surgery and a procedure at LSI:

Traditional surgery requires hospitalization. LSI’s procedures are performed on an outpatient basis in our own surgical centers.
Traditional surgery requires general anesthesia. The procedures we perform at LSI require only local anesthesia and deep IV sedation.
Traditional surgery is generally followed by a lengthy recovery. Most LSI patients are quickly back to their normal activities.
Traditional surgery is generally less effective than LSI’s. More than 85% of LSI’s patients report an increased quality of life within three months of the procedure.

Another major benefit of undergoing a procedure at LSI is the minimal risk of complications like infection. Because smaller incisions are used and less tissue is cut through, the body is able to recover more quickly and with fewer opportunities for problems to develop. However, like any surgery, LSI’s prolapsed disc procedure is only suited for patients who have not achieved relief through conservative, non-invasive treatments like physical therapy.
