Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy
Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (PELD) is a step advance from lumbar microdiscectomy. PELD is a percutaneous surgical procedure for safe and sparing excision of herniated disc material. Even sequestered disc material - regardless of its size and level - that slipped into the spinal channel can be removed with the minimal invasive method.
Advantages of PELD
The PELD offers a number of advantages in comparison to conventional methods:
- Immediate pain relief in 95% of the cases - study info needed
- Direct access to herniated disc/sequester
- The disc-annulus and the ligament remain intact
- No general anesthesia, only a sparing local anesthetic necessary
- Outpatient treatment
- Shorter rehabilitation -study info needed
- Faster return to profession and everyday life - study info needed
- Small incision (only one stitch) = hardly any scarring
