ABSTRACT
The results of experimental and clinical studies using different laser systems in intradiscal blind and endoscopic/foraminoscopic lumbar disc operations are described. We describe the evolution from blind intradiscal techniques starting in 1989 to current endoscopic/foraminoscopic procedures in 1997. Lasers are important and useful tools in these procedures.
