The use of targeted percutaneous laser disc decompression under the guidance of puncture-radiating pain leads to better short-term responses in lumbar disc herniation

Objective: Traditional percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) eliminates nucleus pulposus in the center of lumbar discs. Targeted PLDD is an alternative technique that involves elimination and decompression of the target…
