Laser (RF, Ozone) Applications for Lumbar Herniation
They can also be called 'fully closed disc herniation'surgeries. Without general anesthesia, local anesthesia (the patient is awake and only the procedure area is anesthetized) and without any incision, the hernia is entered between the waist muscles with a thin needle. The hernia is reduced with electrocautery such as laser ozone, or intradiscal RF (radio frequency). This method is performed with high-tech tools.
In summary;
– With local anesthesia, only the procedure area is anesthetized(There is no general anesthesia. )
– There is no incision or stitching (The hernia is entered with a needle).
– It is a short (lasting approximately 15 minutes)procedure. .
– Hospital stay is 2 hours. The patient can return to normal life after 2 hours.
