Role of Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression in Patients with Lumbar Disc Herniation on Pain Relief: A Quasi-Experimental Pilot Study:

Disc herniation is broadly defined as a localized or focal displacement of disc material beyond the limits of the intervertebral disc space. The disc material may be the nucleus, cartilage, fragmented apophyseal bone, annular tissue, or any combination thereof. Laser surgery is one of the treatment modalities for treating patients with lumbar disc herniation.
