With a regional surgical center conveniently located in Scottsdale, Arizona, access to one of Laser Spine Institute’s experienced spine surgeons couldn’t be more convenient for patients in Tucson. At Laser Spine Institute, we specialize in minimally invasive endoscopic spine procedures that have been designed to relieve back and neck pain that is caused by a variety of degenerative spine conditions. Our appealing alternative to open spine surgery is a safe and effective way to treat prolonged back pain –when conservative treatments have failed – without the risks and lengthy rehabilitation of major surgery.

The Advantages of Endoscopic Procedures

A minimally invasive back surgery from Laser Spine Institute has a number of advantages over open spine surgery. Perhaps the most notable benefit is that endoscopic spine procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. Because patients do not require general anesthesia or muscle dissection, recovery is comparatively easy. In fact, most patients walk out of our clinic about an hour after their procedure and only require light rehabilitation to maximize the effectiveness of the procedure. Additionally, endoscopic procedures do not require the installation of bone grafts or hardware, so permanent loss of flexibility in the spine is not experienced after a procedure. Outpatient procedures also have a significantly lower instance of infection, clotting, and other post-operative risks.

• Degenerative disc disease
