Abstract

OBJECTIVE. To evaluate the results of using an optimized method of laser vaporization in the treatment of patients with degenerative-dystrophic lesions of the lumbar intervertebral discs.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. The data of 48 patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the lumbar spine were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups, where in the first group, patients underwent laser vaporization with intraoperative monitoring of laser radiation power with correction of parameters if necessary, and in the second group, laser vaporization of a herniated disc at standard laser radiation power without simultaneous power control.
RESULTS. Analysis of the results of the applied optimized method showed its advantage against the background of constant monitoring and adjustment of power indicators during the operation, which clinically manifested itself in the form of a persistent regression of pain in the postoperative period (the level of pain at discharge, as well as 3 and 12 months after surgery, significantly lower in patients of the first group) and improve the functional status of patients.
CONCLUSION. The use of an optimized minimally invasive method of laser vaporization improves the results of treatment of patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the intervertebral discs of the lumbar spine.
