Lumbar Spinal Surgery

For many people, the concept of lumbar spinal surgery entails general anesthesia, a large incision, cutting through muscle, and a long stay in the hospital. However, this isn’t the case with procedures performed at Laser Spine Institute. Laser Spine Institute offers lumbar back pain sufferers alternative procedures that utilize advanced endoscopic techniques to successfully treat conditions including herniated disc, bulging disc, bone spurs, degenerative disc, spinal stenosis, and more. These procedures are performed with minimal trauma to the body, use local rather than general anesthesia, are performed in an outpatient setting, and have a quicker recovery period.

Laser Spine Institute’s lumbar spinal surgery procedures include:

Percuteaneous Endoscopic Discectomy - This procedure involves removing the herniated portion of a disc that is pressing on a nerve and causing symptoms.
Foraminotomy - This procedure removes bone, ligament, disc, or other tissue to open up the foramen and relieve pressure on the nerve root passing through that foramen.
Facet Thermal Ablation - A laser is used to clean the facet joint and deaden the nerve that is being affected and causing symptoms.
Hospital setting
Laminotomy - This procedure removes part of a bony plate in your spine known as the lamina to make room in the spinal canal and relieve pressure on an affected nerve.

Laser Spine Institute has a success rate of more than 87% of patients who say that their quality of life has increased in the weeks following their procedure, and we’ve performed tens of thousands of spinal procedures. And although we’re the largest spinal surgery facility in the world, we maintain a commitment to creating a personal, comfortable experience from beginning to end for both patients and their companions.
