Discectomy with lasers is a technically easy procedure and permits a surgeon to place a predictably sized and configured defect in a predetermined position in the intervertebral disc. In a small series of patients, the procedure appears effective in controlling symptoms in a high percentage of patients. The efficacy of the procedure and wider acceptance will depend on the results of multicenter clinical trials.
激光椎间盘切除术在技术上是一种简单的手术,能让外科医生在椎间盘的预定位置制造出大小和形态可预测的缺损。在一小部分患者中,该手术在很大比例的患者中似乎能有效控制症状。该手术的疗效以及更广泛的接受程度将取决于多中心临床试验的结果。
