title: [Laser puncture diskectomy in discogenic lumbosacral radiculitis].
abstract: Percutaneous laser discectomy (PLD) was performed in 273 patients with herniated disc-induced lumbosacral radiculitis. Indications for PLD were based on clinical and neurological findings and results of MR tomography: no benefit from conservative treatment, pain syndrome in the lumbago stage and sciatica not presenting with severe paresis and with herniated intervertebral discs down to 6 mm in size across.
