The procedure has a success rate of over 90% when patient selection is appropriate and performed by trained specialists.
Can PELD treat all types of disc herniation?
PELD is ideal for most lumbar disc herniations, but the suitability depends on individual MRI findings. Your spine surgeon will guide you.
Will there be a scar?
Only a tiny scar (less than 1 cm) remains, often barely visible after healing.
What is the recovery time after PELD?
Patients typically return to normal daily activities within a week. Heavy lifting and strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks.
How soon can I walk after surgery?
Most patients are encouraged to walk within a few hours of the procedure and are often discharged on the same day.
Will I need general anesthesia?
No. PELD is usually done under local anesthesia with sedation, meaning patients are awake and responsive, reducing anesthesia-related risks.
How long does the surgery take?
Usually, the procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the disc herniation.
Is PELD safe?
Yes, PELD is a highly safe and proven procedure when performed by experienced spine surgeons. Aster MIMS Kannur ensures international standards and strict surgical protocols.
