Collapsed Disc Surgery

An individual who is a candidate for collapsed disc surgery has a number of options to consider before undergoing any procedure. All too often, a patient will consent to a painful, invasive open back or neck surgery when a gentle endoscopic procedure may offer better results without the trauma, lengthy rehabilitation, or high risks typically associated with major surgery.

A collapsed disc occurs when the walls of one of the spongy, shock absorbent intervertebral discs in the spine weakens or deteriorates over time. As a result of this degeneration (either as a result of aging or injury), the disc may protrude from its normal resting place between the spinal vertebrae and irritate, impinge, or pinch a nearby nerve root – causing pain or other neurological symptoms. A collapsed disc also may become dry and thin, eventually allowing the surrounding vertebrae rub together and form bone spurs. In many cases, these conditions can go completely undetected, or the symptoms are easily managed with conservative, non-surgical treatment.

In the event that the patient’s symptoms are debilitating or growing worse, collapsed disc surgery becomes an option. At Laser Spine Institute (LSI) comes in. At LSI, we are at the forefront of the emerging field of orthopedic surgery, known as endoscopic spine surgery. Endoscopic collapsed and compressed disc surgery has a number of benefits, making it an appealing choice for many patients suffering from back and neck pain, including:

Procedures are minimally invasive and are performed on an outpatient basis
Endoscopic procedures are computer-assisted for unmatched precision
State-of-the-art lasers are used to decompress nerves
Rehabilitation and recovery are much shorter than with open back surgery
And much more
