Spinal Problems May be Better Solved with Laser Spine Surgery at LSI Than Treatments at Other Facilities

One search for "spinal problems and surgery" on the Internet proves how big of a problem back and neck pain is for the many people. And the sheer amount of search results also proves that there are many types of procedures to consider. It can be completely overwhelming. But if you're considering LSI, you've narrowed your search successfully. That's because at Laser Spine Institute we believe in treating spinal problems with a gentle, minimally invasive surgery that has many advantages over traditional open-back surgery.

Here are some of those advantages:

• Traditional surgery requires hospitalization, while laser surgery at LSI is an outpatient procedure conducted in one of our state-of-art surgery centers.
• The risk of infection for traditional surgery is 4%. It's only .01% for laser surgery.
• Traditional surgery requires general anesthesia, which comes with a whole host of risks and side effects. Laser surgery uses only local anesthesia and IV sedation, which come with fewer and less serious risks.
• Traditional surgery has a success rate around 60% of reducing the symptoms of spinal problems while laser surgery has better than an 85% of success.

Of course, you may have noticed there are a number of places across the country where you can undergo endoscopic laser surgery for spinal problems, but LSI is the very best when it comes to that type of surgery. We perform more than 400 procedures a month, more than any other facility in the world, so you can be sure you are in experienced hands. And we offer this unmatched expertise in world-class facilities equipped with the best imaging and surgical tools available. In the care of our highly acclaimed surgeons, your chances for a recovery from spinal problems are extremely high.
