Results of a clinical trial of the holmium:YAG laser in disc decompression utilizing a side‐firing fiber: A two‐year follow‐up

Laser‐assisted disc decompression (LADD) is an operative technique for the treatment of symptomatic, nonsequestered herniated nucleus pulposus that has failed to respond to conservative treatment. The current study reports 2‐year follow‐up data.
