Laser Endoscopic Spine Surgery (LESS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique of the spine which has redefined spinal surgery. Through this technique, patients can leave the operating room in less time, experience less postoperative pain and have almost no visible scars. Endoscopic laser surgery uses a device that emits special light beams, allowing tissue to be cut without the need for a scalpel.

Spinal pathologies treated with endoscopic laser

This revolutionary technique It is effective in treating a wide variety of spinal pathologies vertebral. Common conditions that can be addressed with this method include lumbar and cervical disc herniations, spinal canal stenosis, spinal tumors, degenerative disc disease, and disc compression. In order to find out if this innovative technique is applicable to a condition, it is possible to Schedule an appointment with our spine specialists, who will evaluate the case and determine the most appropriate approach.

Minimally invasive endoscopic laser spine treatment

The LESS technique is one of the best developed procedures today that can be used in different surgical treatments of the spine..

A prominent procedure within this technique is the laser rhizotomy, which has been shown to be highly effective in cutting nerve roots in the spinal cord. Also called rhizolysis, this procedure involves deactivating the sensory nerve of the facet joint, which significantly relieves lower back pain and other chronic back pain, as well as muscle spasms.

Another of the possible treatments using LESS technology is laser disc decompression. This procedure, which is performed under local anesthesia, consists of a simple puncture that effectively relieves chronic back pain and muscle discomfort. It is especially effective in the treatment of protuberances and herniated discs, both lumbar and cervical, offering excellent results.

In the case of laser herniated disc treatment, a method is used that consists of introducing a laser probe into the interior of the herniated disc and evaporating the fluid from the disc so that it returns to its original place. This method does not cause damage to the disc or alter its structure, and provides considerable pain relief in the affected area.

It is also possible to use the laser surgery for spinal stenosis. This procedure is intended to widen the spinal canal to decompress the nerves. In some cases, it is also necessary to fix some vertebrae to stabilize the spine.

A prominent application of this technology is the treatment of spinal cord tumors with laser. Using this technology, it is possible to reach areas that were previously inaccessible in order to remove benign or malignant tissue masses. Although it can be effective, some patients may also require radiotherapy or chemotherapy as part of their treatment.

This type of surgery is used to repair damage to parts of the intervertebral discs, which act as shock absorbers for the spine and provide it with flexibility. Disc injuries can make activities such as walking, running or jumping difficult, so it is crucial to treat them as soon as possible with specialists.

Postoperative care after endoscopic laser surgery of the spine

Endoscopic laser spine surgery offers a significantly faster and more comfortable postoperative recovery compared to traditional surgeries. As it is a minimally invasive procedure, the impact on surrounding tissues is reduced to a minimum, allowing many patients to resume their daily activities much sooner than expected. In many cases, patients are discharged from the hospital on the same day of the procedure, thus avoiding long hospital stays.

In addition to speeding up recovery, this surgical technique also results in a considerably less painful postoperative periodThe intervention causes mild discomfort, which reduces the need for painkillers and improves the patient's quality of life from the moment they leave the operating room.

Benefits of Endoscopic Laser Spine Surgery

This advanced technology is ideal for the treatment of a wide range of spinal pathologies and injuries. The main advantages of the LESS technique include:

• Minimal invasiveness: The incisions made during surgery are extremely small, making the operation significantly less aggressive compared to traditional surgical techniques.
• Lowest in-hospital time: In most cases, patients can be discharged from the hospital on the same day of the procedure, minimizing hospital stay.
• Faster recovery: Thanks to the lesser damage to surrounding tissues, patients return to their activities more quickly.
• Reduction of post-surgical pain: Pain after surgery is considerably less, which reduces the need for painkillers and improves the patient's quality of life.
• Lower risk of surgical complications: With the LESS technique, blood loss is minimized, the chances of infection are reduced, and the need for additional antibiotic treatments or surgeries is decreased.

There is no doubt that Laser spine surgery is highly effective and safe. By eliminating the need for multiple incisions and speeding up the recovery process, this technique provides patients with a more comfortable and less painful postoperative experience.
