Default Percutaneous Laser Disc-Decompression (PLDD).

I am interested for doing a Percutaneous Laser Disc-Decompression (PLDD).
Has anyone had any experience with this minimal invasive surgery?
Is it painful during the procedure?? (Local anaesthesia).
What are the future side effect in spine stabilisation.
Thanks

I've had a few clients get PLLD with good and bad results (as with all spine surgeries.) I think that recovery from PLLD is pretty minor compared to the ADR and fusion surgeries that many of us are having. For the most part, it's a few days of discomfort, much like what many of us experience after discogram.

Good luck... let us know how it goes.
