Treating slip disc cases where the condition has worsened, poses a
big challenge to a spine surgeon. Generally, the slip disc victims are
young who are in prime of their earning life.And for them to be
suffering from debilitating back pain is not just physically painful but also hugely impact their earning capability.
Surgeons have found answers to it through a new technique of treatment which is known as PELD(Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Disectomy).A type of minimally invasive surgery, PELD is an endoscopic daycare surgical procedure which is conducted in about 60 minutes, under local anesthesia with mild sedation. Patient is conscious and in front exact entry points are mapped on patient’s body using image intensifier x-ray system. Then a small incision is made about 8-10 centimeters from the midline on the posterior part of the body.
It is a day care procedure which has good recovery rate.But it should not be blindly recommended and patient should have exhausted other conventional treatment options before undergoing this.
