PLDD is an advanced, image-guided, minimally invasive procedure that uses targeted laser energy to treat herniated intervertebral discs. By evaporating a small volume of water inside the disc, pressure is reduced, offering significant pain relief without the need for open surgery.
Key Features:
-
Minimally Invasive Technique
Requires only a small puncture, reducing surgical trauma, scarring, and recovery time. -
Precision Laser Technology
Uses highly focused laser energy to vaporize nucleus pulposus material within the disc. -
Real-Time Imaging Guidance
Performed under fluoroscopic or CT guidance for safe and accurate targeting. -
Outpatient Procedure
Typically done under local anesthesia; patients can often return home the same day. -
Short Recovery Time
Rapid return to daily activities compared to traditional open spine surgery. -
Pain Reduction & Pressure Relief
Effectively reduces disc pressure and alleviates nerve root compression, minimizing back and leg pain. -
Low Complication Rate
Lower risk of infection, blood loss, and nerve damage compared to open discectomy. -
Ideal for Early-Stage Disc Herniation
Most suitable for patients with contained disc herniation and no severe spinal instability.
