What does the Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (PELD) procedure involve?
PELD is a minimally invasive spine surgery performed under local anesthesia. A small incision is made in the lower back, and a thin endoscope is inserted to visualize and remove herniated disc material that is compressing a nerve root. The procedure typically takes about one hour, and patients can often go home within 1–2 days.
