LASER DISC HERNIA TREATMENT (Laser Discectomy)

It is an attempt to decompress lumbar and cervical disc herniations using LASER beams.

Laser iğnesi disk içerisinde yüksek ısılara ulaşana kadar beklenir. Bu işlem fıtıklaşmış diskin büzüşmesini, fıtığın küçülmesini ve fıtığın neden olduğu ağrıların geçmesini sağlar.

PLASMA DISCECTOMY (PDCT = Percutaneous Disc Coagulation Therapy)

It is a type of therapeutic closed surgery for disc coagulation and decompression with plasma energy. This is a similar method applied to laser beams at different wavelengths and for different durations. PDCT is a treatment option with maximized safety and efficiency. Painless herniated disc treatment is possible with both early evaporation and coagulation of an intervertebral disc. By providing annuloplasty, it is possible to treat hernias in the cervical and lumbar regions safely and effectively.

In both procedures, the location of the disc tissue causing the herniation is determined precisely by entering it with a thin needle, with the help of patient imaging devices prepared under completely sterile operating room conditions. This is the most important part of the process. It should not be close to nerve tissues. The installation of the cables that deliver LASER beams and PLASMA energy into the disc through this needle is completed and the process begins, and is completed in approximately 2-5 minutes. These painless, painless, no-scalpel, anesthesia-free procedures are effective methods and some of the hernia tissue is vaporized and dissolved. Thanks to the shrinking disc, patients get rid of hernia.

We send the patients home 1 hour after this intervention. He is discharged with bed rest for 2 days and recommendations not to stand too long or lift heavy objects, especially in the first week. It is a very effective method in certain conditions and the success rate is around 90%.
