Any help is appreciated.

I know of many patients treated by dr. Yeung with YESS system and technique, and I have studied the technique very well and participated in many YESS surgeries with dr. Robert Saftic in Croatia.

Depending on the diagnosis, worldwide success rates for patients with herniated discs are from 80% to 90%.

For patients with degenerated disc/annular tear who seek for an alternative for artificial disc/fusion, success rates are lower - but SED (selective endoscopic discectomy with YESS) in my opinion is more than worth trying (when indicated).
