the Principle of PLDD
in this procedure, laser energy is transmitted through a thin optical fiber into the disc. the aim of PLDD is to vaporize a small portion of the inner core. the ablation of a relatively small volume of the inner core results in an important reduction of intra-discal pressure, thus inducing reduction of disc herniation.
PLDD is the minimally-invasive medical procedure developed by Dr. Daniel S.J. Choy in 1986 that uses a laser beam to treat back and neck pain caused by a herniated disc.
Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) is the utmost minimally invasive percutaneous laser techniquein the treatment of the disc hernias, cervical hernias, dorsal hernias(except for the segment T1-T5), and lumbar hernias. the procedureuses the laser energy to absorb the water within the herniated nucleuspulposus creating a decompression.
the PLDD treatment is performed on an outpatient basis using only local anesthesia. during the procedure, a thin needle is inserted into the herniated disc under x-ray or CT guidance. An optical fiber is inserted through the needle and laser energy is sent through the fiber, vaporizing a tiny portion of the disc nucleus. this creates a partial vacuum which draws the herniation away from the nerve root, thereby relieving the pain. The effect usually is immediate.
If you suffer from agonizing back or neck pain as a result of a herniated disc, PLDD (Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression) offers quick relief without surgery. Approved by the FDA and recognized by the AMA, PLDD is a minimally invasive laser treatment performed on an outpatient basis using only local anesthesia. during the procedure, a laser beam vaporizes a tiny portion of the disc, decompressing it. Patients typically get off the table and go home. There is no hospital stay, no long recovery period, and PLDD costs many thousands of dollars less than surgery. PLDD is the minimally-invasive medical procedure developed by Dr. Daniel S.J. Choy in 1986 that uses a laser beam to treat back and neck pain caused by a herniated disc. A herniated disc is like a balloon with a weak spot. Inflating it will cause a bulge (herniation). Pain results from the bulge pressing against nerves in the spinal column. The PLDD treatment is performed on an outpatient basis using only local anesthesia. during the procedure, a thin needle is inserted into the herniated disc under x-ray guidance. An optical fiber is inserted through the needle and laser energy is sent through the fiber, vaporizing a tiny portion of the disc nucleus. this creates a partial vacuum which draws the herniation away from the nerve root, thereby relieving the pain. The effect usually is immediate.
Patients get off the table with just a small adhesive bandage and return home for 24 hours of bed rest. Then patients begin progressive ambulation, walking up to a mile. most return to work in four to five days. Because only a thin needle is used, there is no cutting and no scarring. since only a tiny amount of disc is vaporized, there is no subsequent spinal instability. PLDD is different from open lumbar disc surgery because there is no damage to the back muscle, no bone removal or large skin incision.
most of the complications that may occur with open surgery are eliminated with the PLDD procedure.
this procedure is specifically designed for patients with disc problems accompanied by the following:
* Severe leg, arm, neck or lower back pain.
* Pain that has not responded to six weeks of conservative treatments- rest, meds or physical therapy.
* Herniated lumbar discs confirmed by x-ray studies that may include one or more of the following: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), CAT Scanning, Myelography, Discography.
the procedure appear to be now days a safe and valid alternative to the microsurgery, with a rate of success of 80%, particularly under CT-Scan guidance, in order to visualize the nerve root and also apply energy on several points of disc herniation. this permits to have a shrinking concentrated in a bigger area, realizing a minimal invasiveness on the spine to be treated, and avoiding the potential complications related to the microdiscectomy (recurrence rate of more than 8-15%, peridural scar in more than 6-10%, dural sac tear, bleeding, iatrogenic microinstability), and does not preclude traditional surgery, if needed.
ADVANTAGES
* It's minimally invasive, hospitalization is unnecessary,Patients get off the table with just a small adhesive bandage and
Return home for 24 hours of bed rest. Then patients begin progressive ambulation, walking up to a mile. most return to work in four to five days.
* Highly effective if correctly prescribed
* Processed under local, not general anesthesia
* Safe and fast surgical technique,No cutting, No scarring,since only a tiny amount of disc is vaporized, there is no subsequent spinal instability. Different from open lumbar disc surgery,there is no damage to the back muscle, no bone removal or large skin incision.
*It's applicable to patients who are at higher risk to open discectomy such as those with diabetes, heart disease, decreased liver and kidney functions etc.
PLDD Kit Include:
* Sterilized optical fiber 400um/600um for medical use
* Cervical: 18G 10cm puncture needle
* Lumbar region:18G 15cm puncture needle
* Y-valve
