Abstract

Fifteen patients with lumbar osteochondrosis complicated by L4-L5 and L5-S1 disk protrusion treated by interosseous laser diskectomy are reviewed. Early and long-term results are given. In 14 patients (93%) good results were achieved, 1 patients (7%) had satisfactory outcome. Indications for intercutaneous laser diskectomy are the following: low back pain irradiating to lower extremity, and persistent over 3 months, failed conservative treatment, absence of neurologic complications, such as paresis, disturbance of pelvic organs function as well as disk protrusion (size up to 6 mm) confirmed by CT, MRI. This method does not damage soft tissues and allows to achieve persistent release of pain syndrome.
