- What is PLDD Neurosurgery Laser Spine Surgery treatment?
Percutaneous laser disc discectomy
Ambulatory technique (without admission) - Local anesthesia - Minimal surgical damage and post-operative pain - Rapid recovery
Background and objective: Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) is a procedure in which herniated intervertebral discs are treated by reduction of intradiscal pressure through laser energy. This is introduced by a needle inserted into the nucleus pulposus under local anesthesia and fluoroscopic monitoring. The laser is based on the transformation of light energy into thermal, its advantages are given by having a minimal penetration in tissues, limited heat diffusion, allows the cutting, vaporization and coagulation of small vessels as well as minimal damage to adjacent parenchyma.
Effectively relieves pain caused by the bulging or herniated discs that impinge on the spinal cord or nerve roots. It is performed by introducing a laser fiber optic in certain areas of a lumbar or cervical disc. The laser energy hits directly on the damaged tissues to dissipate the excess disc material, reduce inflammation of the disc and the pressure exerted on the nerves that pass next to the protrusion of the disc.
- Why 980nm +1470nm dual lasers?
1. Hemoglobin has a high absorption rate of 980 nm laser, and this feature can enhance hemostasis; thereby reducing fibrosis and vascular bleeding. This provides the benefits of postoperative comfort and a more rapid recovery . In addition, considerable tissue retraction, both immediate and delayed, is achieved by stimulating collagen formation.
2. The 1470nm has a higher water absorption rate, the laser energy to absorb the water within the herniated nucleuspulposus creating a decompression. Therefore, the combination of 980 + 1470 can not only achieve a good therapeutic effect, but also prevent tissue bleeding.
- Advantages Of PLDD Laser Treatment
1. It's minimally invasive, hospitalization is unnecessary, 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.
2. Highly effective if correctly prescribed.
3. Processed under local, not general anesthesia.
4. Safe and fast surgical technique, No cutting, No scarring, Since only a tiny amount of disc is vaporized, there is no subsequent spinal instability. Different from open lumbar disc surgery, there is no damage to the back muscle, no bone removal or large skin incision.
5. It's applicable to patients who are at higher risk to open discectomy such as those with diabetes, heart disease, decreased liver and kidney functions etc.
1: WHAT IS PLDD?
The pldd (percutaneous laser disc decompression) is a not-surgical technique but truly minimal invasive interventional procedure for the treatment of a 70% of the disc hernia and 90% of the disc protrusions (these are small disc hernia that sometimes are very painful and do not respond to the most conservative therapies as pain killers, cortisonic and physical therapies and so on).
2: HOW DOES THE PLDD WORK?
It uses local anesthesia, a tiny needle and a laser optical fiber. It is practicated into the operating room with the patient in the lateral position or prone (for lumbar disk) or supin (for cervical). Firstly the local anesthesia in an exact point of the back (if lumbar) or of the neck (if cervical) is done, then a tiny needle is inserted through the skin and muscles and this, under radiological control, reaches the center of the disc (called nucleus pulposus). At this point the laser optical fiber is inserted inside the tiny needle and i start to delivery the laser energy (heat) that vaporizes a very small amount of the nucleus pulposus.
This determines a decrease of 50-60% of the intra discal pressure and therefore also the pressure that disc hernia or protrusion exercises on the nerve root (cause of pain).
