Hi Denis,
I have mentioned dr. Yeung several times on this forum, Mark also. If I remember correctly, Mark has co-operation with dr. Yeung and he observed several surgeries with him.
From what I explored in last 2 years, dr. Yeung is one of few world leaders in minimally-invasive spine surgery. He adopted AMD (arthroscopic micro-discectomy) from dr. Parviz Kambin and evolved it to SED (selective endoscopic discecomy). In my humble opinion, this is most advanced method to treat disc herniations and especially internal disc disruption (if we exclude ADR and fusion for IDD). However, patients with prior surgery at same level can be unhappy with results of minimally-invasive spine surgery, especially patients suffering from IDD.
Hopefully dr. Yeung will have some answer for you.
