SED for discogenic low-back pain is an endoscopic procedure which enables spine surgeon to visualize the disc, remove degenerated nucleus pulposis that is not allowing annulus to heal, ablate irritated nerve endings inside the disc, ablate ingrown granulation tissue and shrink the annular opening to prevent herniation at same level.
Point of all this is avoiding artificial disc replacement or fusion surgery. Obviously, not all patient are candidates for this procedure. This procedure was pioneered by dr. Anthony Yeung.

I am very interested in this procedure as well. Scheduled a consult with a Dr. that performs this procedure for later this month to see if it would work for me.
