Endoscopic Laser Decompression
  • Endoscopic Laser Decompression
  • Endoscopic Laser Decompression

It is a 'causal treatment' that overcomes the limitations of conservative therapy and a 'minimally invasive spine surgery' that overcomes the risks of open spine surgery.
Without incision or bone cut, a thin endoscopic tube (about 6 mm in diameter) is inserted through the skin.
Using endoscopic laser and high-frequency heat, only pathological disc fragments that protrude into or out of the annulus fibrosis are treated while preserving the discs in normal condition.

STEP1 - Procedure preparation with local anesthesia, STEP2 - Insert a thin endoscopic tube, STEP3 - Eliminate causes of pain with a laser and high-frequency
  • Without incisions or cuts in the skin and muscles, a thin endoscopic tube (about 6mm in diameter) is inserted.

When causal treatment is needed

  • If conservative treatment fails for 3 months
