Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (PELD) is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients suffering from lumbar disc herniation. This innovative procedure utilises a small incision and an endoscope, a thin, lighted instrument, to visualise and remove herniated disc material compressing nerves in the lower back. Compared to traditional open surgery, PELD offers several advantages, including:
- Reduced muscle disruption and scarring
- Shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times
- Less post-operative pain
- Quicker return to daily activities
