The minimally invasive cervical and lumbar spine surgery department of PLA 291 Hospital is in line with the development of international medical technology, and possesses international cutting-edge high, precise, and sharp modern diagnostic and treatment equipments as well as the leading special technology for curing cervical and lumbar spine diseases: PLA No.291 Hospital has invested a huge amount of money in introducing the German laser minimally invasive surgical system, PLDD (Percutaneous Laser Disc Vaporization) technology, which is the most advanced, non-invasive and safe and effective high-tech technology for treating herniated disc in developed countries such as Europe, America, Japan and Korea. PLDD is the most advanced, non-invasive, minimally invasive, safe and effective high-tech technology, which is the first choice of treatment program for herniated discs in developed countries such as Europe, the United States, Japan and Korea. Accurate diagnosis and scientific treatment is the key to the recovery of patients with herniated disc, and blind treatment will cause endless troubles. The pain clinical diagnosis and treatment center combines various modern interventional techniques (percutaneous laser disc vaporization / disc chemical dissolution / medical ozone ablation) to better solve the problem of patient's efficacy, to achieve both safe and less painful.
Percutaneous laser disc vaporization and decompression (PLDD) is different from traditional orthopaedic surgery. Under local anesthesia and fluoroscopic positioning monitoring, the needle, which is slightly thicker than the intramuscular injection, is inserted into the herniated disc, and the fiber optic guide is placed along the hollow needle, applying the semiconductor laser minimally invasive surgical system newly developed in Italy. The latest semiconductor laser minimally invasive surgical system developed in Italy is applied to improve the microenvironment around the nerves and the inflammatory response through the warmth and heat effect of the laser, effectively relieving various neurological symptoms. The time required for percutaneous laser vaporization is generally 10-30 minutes, and patients generally need to stay in the hospital for a week.
PLDD Features
◆Basically no bleeding: The PLDD procedure is performed by inserting a 1.3 mm diameter needle into the herniated disc, so there is basically no bleeding.
◆Treatable with local anesthesia: Local anesthesia is applied to the puncture site, making the procedure accessible to patients with heart disease and diabetes who are unable to undergo general anesthesia.
◆Short hospital stay: It takes about 30 minutes from the injection of anesthetic to the end of the surgery. You can return to normal life in 3 days after the surgery.
◆No scar: Since only a fine needle is inserted into the body to introduce the laser fibers, there is no scar left on the skin.
◆Good results: 60% of patients treated with PLDD recovered on the day of the procedure, 20% recovered one week after the procedure, and 10% recovered one month after the procedure, which is comparable to the results of open surgery.
◆High safety: overcoming the spinal instability, nerve root damage, paraplegia and other complications caused by open surgery.
◆Lower fee: Compared with the cost of tens of thousands of dollars of traditional open surgery, PLDD surgery dramatically reduces the cost of hospitalization for patients. Ozone is a strong oxidant, compared with oxygen, has the characteristics of specific gravity, odorless, colored, soluble in water, easy to decompose, etc. Its half-life is about 20 minutes at room temperature. Ozone molecular disc fusion is the safest and most advanced treatment technology for herniated disc. This technology was firstly created by Prof. Marco-Leonardi in Italy, and has been widely applied in some European countries such as Italy, Germany, France and the United States, etc. It has been recognized as one of the most effective means of cervical and lumbar disc herniation treatment without surgery. Its clinical effectiveness rate is up to 97% or more.
Principle of intervertebral disc ozone molecular myeloablation
The ozone molecules produced by the medical ozone therapy instrument have strong oxidizing ability and nucleus pulposus ablation, injecting it into the nucleus pulposus of the protruding intervertebral discs can instantly oxidize proteoglycans within the nucleus pulposus tissue and destroy the nucleus pulposus cells, so that proteoglycans function is lost, and the osmotic pressure of the nucleus pulposus tissue can't be maintained, resulting in the loss of water and atrophy, thus decreasing the risk of herniation. The osmotic pressure in the nucleus pulposus tissue cannot be maintained, resulting in loss of water and atrophy, thus lowering the pressure in the intervertebral disc, eliminating the symptoms, and achieving the goal of complete treatment. Since ozone does not act on the nerve tissue around the nucleus pulposus, the excess ozone molecules become oxygen and are absorbed by the body after 30 minutes. Therefore, there is no residue in the body, it is a new green therapy, the ablated nucleus pulposus tissue is absorbed by the body and will not recur, it is one of the safest, most effective, least damaging, and most thorough treatment techniques.
The main advantages of ozone therapy for herniated disc
◆High safety factor: puncture under the guidance of laser auto-localization C-arm, precise and safe, ozone only ablates the nucleus pulposus without damaging the tissues around the nucleus pulposus and the nerves, and the excess ozone is gradually turned into oxygen to be absorbed by the body, with no residual residue in the body.
◆No pain, little risk: the puncture needle (diameter 1.3mm) is slightly thicker than the injection needle, almost no risk and pain.
◆Rapid effect. High efficacy: the pain symptoms are relieved quickly, and the treatment of herniated discs is usually cured only once.
◆No allergic reaction and other obvious complications: the special structure of ozone has no allergic reaction and residue in the body, and the strong oxidizing ability of ozone makes the infection rate in the body almost zero.
◆Wide range of age adaptation: safe for senior patients. Therapeutic principle: Radiofrequency target thermo-coagulation for cervical spondylosis is an international treatment method with little trauma, high safety factor, little pain for patients, fast effect and low risk.
