Interesting Microdiscectomy Approach-Accura Scope I think I posted this before but I am not sure so thought it was worth posting again. This technique I think looks very good bc it doesnt require an incision in the back, but instead comes up through a space near the tailbone.

Re: Interesting Microdiscectomy Approach-Accura Scope I wish they could help help me. But I think my issues are from bone spurs. They don't have a treatment for that.

He found scar tissue and some tears and fixed them up.

Re: Interesting Microdiscectomy Approach-Accura Scope How did you find out about it mark? To me, this seems like the future as it makes total sense to me. Only thing is lasers are a little scary if you ask me as I have read sometimes they are more hype than good, but in terms of the approach this looks top notch!!! Hopefully this shows to be effective long term and more surgeons will adopt this technique.

Re: Interesting Microdiscectomy Approach-Accura Scope I wonder if this could be used for spinal stenosis causing radicular pain, as well as other disc related issues, like the fact that I am bone on bone in a couple of areas.
Thanks for any feedback
