Endoscopic Laser Decompression

Endoscopic Laser Decompression

This procedure is generally used to treat patients suffering from severe chronic back and/or neck pain, spinal stenosis, patients who do not want open surgery, or patients who have experienced prior failed back surgeries. A small incision is first made for a round tube (with which to insert a) scope into the spinal canal. A fibre laser within the round tube is then used to burn disc tissue or free scarred nerves (which can then be removed).
