The Numbers Speak for Themselves

Laser Spine Institute's two-year follow-up study shows safety and success continue to be the top priorities

Imagine relieving your severe back pain with an outpatient procedure. No prolonged hospital stays, no major surgery. And on top of that, getting back to your daily activities in just two weeks.

In the past six years, Laser Spine Institute has performed nearly 23,000 minimally invasive spine procedures to do just that—bring relief from neck and back pain to thousands of people. And they know that, going into any type of surgery, their patients want to feel confident in the facility that they've chosen and the doctors they've entrusted.

2 Year Follow Up

Patient safety is a top priority at Laser Spine Institute, which is why a two-year follow-up study was conducted to show just how safe and effective the practice is. After all, the goal of minimally invasive procedures is to not only bring immediate relief, but to also bring long-term success for your health, helping you return to a normal life full of activity.

Infection Rate

Consider, first, that with open back surgery, the average hospital stay is two to five days.

General anesthesia is used and there is a 31 percent complication rate.

With Laser Spine Institute’s minimally invasive endoscopic procedure, there is no hospital stay, no general anesthesia and only a 4 percent chance of complication.

While infections can happen, Laser Spine Institute has only a 0.1 percent infection rate, while the national hospital average is at 4.5 percent.

Endoscopic Cervical Laminotomy/foraminotomy and Endoscopic lumbar laminotomy/foraminotomy

What’s more, nearly 75 percent of patients returned to their normal, daily activities after just two weeks and over half returned to work after a procedure at Laser Spine Institute. With open back surgery, 65 percent of patients remained disabled from daily activities for life and only 43 percent of patients returned to work after three months.

It’s skilled surgeons and an expert staff of nearly 200 medical professionals that make Laser Spine Institute operate at the level of excellence that it does. Together, the surgeons have more than 60 years of combined experience, and they perform more endoscopic, outpatient procedures every month than any other spine surgery provider in the nation, between 400 and 500 per month.

Think of the world of possibilities when your back is no longer, quite literally, holding you back.
