Microscopic Cervical Foraminotomy
(Microscopic Laser Disc Surgery)

It is a surgical method that preserves the normal tissue as much as possible with a minimal scar. The herniated disc fragment is removed and the laser is shot precisely to vaporize the herniated disc fragment, bony spine and thickened ligaments that compress the nerves.
Instead of removing the entire disc from the front of the neck, the ruptured disc fragment can be removed under a microscope by making a small hole about 1 cm in the cervical vertebra.

• The laser is fine enough to make a mark between fingerprints
  
• Fingerprint magnified under a microscope
  

• Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery

  The laser is fine enough to make a 0.3mm diameter mark between fingerprints from a 400mm distance.
