Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1996
A variety of lasers have been employed to perform the percutaneous laser discectomy procedure, including Nd:YAG and the KTP/532. They all can effect a tract through the annulus and nucleus that is believed to reduce disc pressure under load. Although success rates following laser discectomy range between 70% and 80%, criteria for selecting patients are

Neurosurgery, 1985
Abstract Percutaneous discectomy is a viable alternative in the treatment of herniated intervertebral discs of the lumbar spine. Anatomical analysis of the retroperitoneal surgical path utilizing computed tomography suggests that the risk of vascular injury is negligible at the L-4, L-5 level, but substantial at the L-5, S-1 level.

Spine, 1988
This is a retrospective study of microlumbar discectomy (MLD), performed between 1983 and 1987. During that period, 60 patients underwent the procedure. At follow-up, after an average of 33.3 months, MLD provided excellent and good results in 93.3% of cases, fair in 3.3%, and failure in 3.3%.

Percutaneous Lumbar Discectomy
Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2010Percutaneous lumbar discectomy is a proven alternative to the more invasive open discectomy used to treat patients who experience discogenic pain. Estimated to cost the United States health care system more than $20 billion a year, discogenic leg pain represents the primary cause of health care expenditure.

The Journal of the Oklahoma State Medical Association, 1994
1. In patients with symptomatic lumbar disc herniations contained within the interspace, the percutaneous automated discectomy is a reasonable option to open operative procedures. The results appear to be comparable in either case. 2. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, thus avoiding a general anesthetic, and has a shorter and less painful ...

Abstract The traditional model of surgical treatment of spine disease often requires sizable incisions with division of and/or stripping of paraspinal muscle and resection of bone to allow access to the vertebral canal and foramina for decompression of neural structures.
