摘要
This article discusses the evolution of laser-assisted disc decompression, foramenal laser endoscopic disc ablation and endoscopic foramenotomy using a Holmium:YAG laser. Advantages of using this wavelength and several techniques for its use in minimally invasive approach to the lumbar spine are reviewed. The article also discusses the current devices and delivery systems available for this application.
