The most common back surgery to date is performed on the lower back. This is only natural seeing as how it is the lower back that supports the majority of our weight, and is more often then not the most abused part of the back.

Lumbar Back Surgery Choices

Once the decision has been made to undergo lower back surgery you have a few different choices.  You can choose between open back surgery or a less invasive choice such as laser spine surgery. Laser spine surgery has not been around for that long (in the history of medicine that is) while open back surgery including disc replacements and fusions etc. has been around for decades.

Studies have shown that the new minimally invasive laser alternative has proven to provide results while significantly reducing the amount of post operation complications that have created so many horror stories for traditional open back surgery patients.  You should know your options, do some research and make the right choice that fits you best.

Lumbar Surgery Procedures

• Foraminotomy (laser)
• Laminotomy (laser)
• Spinal Fusion (traditional)
• Disc Replacement (traditional)
• Facet Thermal Ablation (laser)

The biggest difference between laser and open back traditional lumbar surgery other then the noticeable change in post surgery complications, is that with laser spine surgery you are in and out on the same day while with open back surgery you are bed ridden for weeks.

Lower back surgery is simply a must for a lot of people out there that have suffered for years with their pain and cannot continue on any longer without taking action. My recommendation to those of you that fall into this group is to make sure you closely examine all of your options before moving forward. This could be the biggest decision of your life.
