I'd worry about the cheesy musak driving you batty ... I mean if it gets under one's skin just visiting the website, imagine what it would be like while they are dancing their lasers over you!! LOL.
I'm sure you're doing a ton of research, but I did bump into this warning: DESPITE THE EXCITEMENT IN THE POTENTIAL OF THIS NEW AND MODERN PROCEDURE, IT HAS NOT PASSED THE TEST OF TIME. THE EXPECTATION IS AT LEAST THE 75% SUCCESS RATE AS WITH BLINDED INDIRECT PROCEDURES, AND HOPE TO EQUAL THE 90% SUCCESS RATE OF THE OPEN MICRODISCECTOMY. THE COMPLICATION RATE IS UNKNOWN, AND IS POTENTIALLY HIGHER THAN FOR THE BLINDED PROCEDURE BECAUSE OF THE GREATER MANIPULATION AROUND THE NERVES TO VISUALIZE THE NERVES. However, it is quickly becoming the procedure of choice for the far lateral disc herniation (disc protrusions outside the boney spine compressing the nerve after it exits the spine). It is presently limited to near normal discs with no evidence of spinal stenosis or spinal instability. |
