Answers
There are a few different types of back surgery, including the traditional, or open approach, MISS, and laser back surgery. Below, we’ll explore what makes each technique different.
Traditional
During traditional back surgery, the surgeon makes a long incision in the back. Then, they move muscles and other tissue away in order to access the affected area of the spine. This leads to a longer recovery time, and may cause tissue damage.
MISS
MISS uses a smaller incision than traditional surgery. A special tool called a tubular retractor is used to create a small tunnel in order to access the surgical site. Various specialized tools can be placed into this tunnel during the surgery.
Because it’s less invasive, MISS can lead to less pain and a faster recovery.
Laser
During laser back surgery, a laser is used to remove portions of tissue located around the spinal cord and nerves of the back. Unlike the other types of back surgery, it may only be appropriate for very specific conditions, such as when nerve compression is causing pain.
In the spine, things like a herniated disc or a bone spur can often cause compression. An example of one such condition is sciatica, where the sciatic nerve becomes pinched, leading to pain in the lower back and leg.
Lasers can be used to help decompress the nerve, with the aim of relieving pain. This is done under local anesthesia, which means that the skin and surrounding muscles of your back will be numbed to pain. You may also be sedated for the procedure.
One of the more well-studied methods of laser back surgery is called percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD). This procedure uses a laser to remove disc tissue that may be causing nerve compression and pain.
