LASER-ASSISTED MICRODISCECTOMY

Major Effects, Minimal Incisions

What is Laser-Assisted Microdiscectomy?

This procedure is a minimally invasive spinal surgery that aims to preserve the wellbeing of as much healthy body tissue as possible. Diseased or damaged discs are trimmed to relieve pressure on nerves or the spinal cord, with the assistance of lasers and microscopes. Nonetheless, it is important to point out that laser assisted microdiscectomy is not the only available procedure to treat discs. Dr. Kornel and Dr. Sharma will discuss your surgical options, and they will make the best recommendation for you based on your particular situation so you can get back to living life to the fullest!

What Does Laser-Assisted Microdiscectomy in New York Involve?

Under general anesthesia, a small incision is made in the back at the level of the damaged disc. Part of the vertebral body is removed and the area is viewed with a magnifying camera. The section of the disc that is putting pressure on the nerve is trimmed away with a laser, with any fragments of bone or disc also removed. The rest of the disc remains in place. Most patients will be able to go home the same day.
