PLDD Laser Treatment Machine For Herniated Disc Minimally Surgery /
Less Pain /Fast Healing
Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression (PLDD)
Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) is a type of surgery
in which a laser probe is inserted into the intervertebral disc
space and laser energy applied for achieving decompression and
neuromodulation thereby relieving the pain. PLDD is a minimally
invasive procedure that falls into the category of percutaneous
intervertebral surgeries with the aim to significantly reduce the
patient’s pain and recover neurological deficit. It is performed
under local anesthesia. By a specially designed laser, with a
coefficient of absorbing energy adjusted for soft discus tissue,
specific amount of heat is sent to achieve the evaporation of the
water from the disc without additional thermal damage thus
achieving decompression and creation of a stable intradiscal scar
that will prevent herniation from reoccurring.
If you suffer from agonizing back or neck pain as a result of a
herniated disc, PLDD (Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression) offers
quick relief without surgery.
Approved by the FDA and recognized by the AMA, PLDD is a minimally invasive laser
treatment performed on an outpatient basis using only local
anesthesia. During the procedure, a laser beam vaporizes a tiny
portion of the disc, decompressing it. Patients typically get off
the table and go home. There is no hospital stay, no long recovery
period, and PLDD costs many thousands of dollars less than surgery.
PLDD is the minimally-invasive medical procedure developed by Dr.
Daniel S.J. Choy in 1986 that uses a laser beam to treat back and
neck pain caused by a herniated disc. A herniated disc is like a
balloon with a weak spot. Inflating it will cause a bulge
(herniation). Pain results from the bulge pressing against nerves
in the spinal column.
The PLDD treatment is performed on an outpatient basis using only local anesthesia.
During the procedure, a thin needle is inserted into the herniated
disc under x-ray guidance. An optical fiber is inserted through the
needle and laser energy is sent through the fiber, vaporizing a
tiny portion of the disc nucleus. This creates a partial vacuum
which draws the herniation away from the nerve root, thereby
relieving the pain. The effect usually is immediate.
Patients get off the table with just a small adhesive bandage and return
home for 24 hours of bed rest. Then patients begin progressive
ambulation, walking up to a mile. Most return to work in four to
five days.
Because only a thin needle is used, there is no cutting and no scarring.
Since only a tiny amount of disc is vaporized, there is no
subsequent spinal instability. PLDD is different from open lumbar
disc surgery because there is no damage to the back muscle, no bone
removal or large skin incision. Most of the complications that may
occur with open surgery are eliminated with the PLDD procedure.
