What is Laser Disc Decompression?
Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) is a method of relieving pressure on nerve roots in the spine, such as from herniated discs. Compressed nerve roots can cause pain, tingling, numbness, weakness and other symptoms in the back, neck, arms and legs.
Instead of surgically removing the source of the compression, laser disc decompression works by using laser energy to destroy it. PLDD is safe, effective and minimally invasive, and for these reasons it is the procedure of choice at Edison Spine Center.
Operated with 400um/600um fiber optic, Chearylas 1470nm laser system is a versatile, multifunctional
medical diode laser machine ideal for minimal invasive PLDD.
The Cherylas 1470nm, with higher water absorption, enables precision ablation and highly localized heating, being advantageous around critical structures. thanks to its outstanding interaction in water and haemoglobin and moderate penetration depth into disc tissue, enables procedures to be carried out safely and accurately,especially in proximity of delicate anatomical structures.
High Quality Laser Diode Technology
Laser diodes are the heart of the laser unit and have been selected for high levels of quality, efficiency and reliability. Featuring solid state technology, they are manufactured in Germany by Lumics, Inc. which is a recognized worldwide leader for producing the highest performing diodes. This ensures superior operating life resulting in long term savings in operating costs.
Maximum Range Of Power(Watts )Level
Multiple power (watts) levels are available in different power configuration models from 1-60 watts. These power (watts) levels can provide significantly more energy than other medical & surgical diode lasers. The higher power (watts) level laser models provide faster treatment times and delivery of optimal energy dosages, an enhanced ability to treat difficult conditions, and enhanced clinical outcomes.
Interactive User Interface
Treatments can be administered and managed with three options: 1) Manual Protocols using the power level, operating mode and timer selections; 2) Preset Protocols that utilize a built-in database of protocols that are organized by anatomy and condition; 3) Custom Protocols that allows the user to create their own unique protocols.
Choice Of Different Operating Modes
Two operating modes Continuous Wave (CW) or Pulsed Modes (50khzFrequencies) are built into the diode laser equipment. The specific power level (watts) can be adjusted through progress bar on the color touchscreen. The Pulsewidth can be operated using different units, like you can set duration 50us, interval 1ms.

What are the advantages of Laser Disc Decompression?
PLDD can be an effective and attractive procedure for the right patient. One of its biggest advantages as a first procedure is that if it proves ineffective, open or minimally invasive surgery can still be performed at a later date.
Other advantages include:
No incisions
No scarring
No general anesthesia
Outpatient procedure – no hospital stay required
Short recovery time – average time to return to work was one week
Low reoperation rate
