Could laser spinal surgery really work?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Laser spinal surgery: A laser is a tool that is used in number of various surgeries. There are no surgeries in the spine that are done solely with the laser, it remains just a tool that a surgeon can use if warranted.

Yes: Yes. But remember that the laser is simply a tool used in surgery and not the surgery itself. In the properly selected patient who has failed no operative care, spinal surgery can be highly successful.
