This innovative minimally invasive procedure has been around for some time but has been made much more effective by modern technological innovation.Mr Fagan first began performing these procedures in 2004 and has recently begun offering the procedure with plasma disc decompression or laser technology. Evidence suggests that the procedure is up to 80% effective at treating sciatica due to a disc protrusion or slipped disc, with a much better safety profile than open surgery.A general anaesthetic is not required, it is performed under sedation, and recovery times back to work are much faster.
Postoperative pain and discomfort are also much less after the operation.Please contact Mr Fagan at the practice for more information on 07539 330360.
