Another method that can be used in the treatment of some patients with lumbar hernia; Laser disc surgery, closed surgery, bloodless surgery techniques, known as “Nucleoplasty”, “Intradiscal Electrotherapy”, “Laser discectomy”, in which the patient is treated without the need for anesthesia, that is, by means of a thin needle inserted into the waist while the patient is awake.
These techniques can be performed under x-ray control (fluoroscopy) in modern operating rooms. The energy forms applied through the high-tech electrodes passed through the needle in question relax the patient by creating shrinkage in the tissue located between the vertebrae and causing herniated disc.
In these techniques, the patient’s skin is not cut and he can go home on foot a few hours after the procedure. With these techniques, which carry almost no risk, at least 70% of the patients can recover without the need for open surgery.
