If you have been diagnosed with a herniated disc, ask the diagnosing physician for a referral to a surgeon that employs laser technology. By getting a referral, your files will be forwarded and the specialist will be able to prepare for your visit.

How to Decide You Need Laser Back Surgery?

Having back surgery is a very serious type of surgery, but having laser back surgery may be less invasive. You will want to know how to decide to have the laser back surgery. First your physician will determine that you need back surgery. If nothing else can be done to relieve the pain, stiffness and immobility of a back problem, surgery may have to be the answer. Even though your physician may recommend the surgery, it is still good to find out as much as you can on the risks and results of back surgery. This is also a good time to find out more about laser back surgery. You should also ask your doctor if you can be a candidate for this kind of surgery. Even if he says no, you can still learn more about the laser surgery and then go back and ask him again. These are the days when the patient also has the say on what medical procedures should or shouldn’t be performed. There are so many advantages to having laser back surgery instead of the old-fashioned invasive type of surgery. One advantage, is that many of the laser surgeries can be performed as an outpatient surgery. It would be great to go in the morning for the surgery, and be home by evening. Recovery from laser surgery is much faster than regular back surgery. The laser back surgery is safer because no incisions are made, there are no worries about general anesthesia, and there are no scars left behind. This surgery has also been performed for more than twenty years, and over time, there have been many improvements made in this field. Patients as young as 13 and as old as 93 have undergone laser back surgery with no negative results. Laser back surgery has mainly been used for certain types of back problems. Some of these back problems include lower back pain, sciatica nerve pain, slipped discs, and even laser spine surgery for herniated discs. Removing the herniated area is the only way that can stop this back pain for many years of relief. Check with your physician and an orthopedic surgeon who is experienced in this field and find out how laser back surgery can help you.
