Procedure Steps

Pre-op: lumbar MRI + concordant clinical exam

Local anesthesia + IV sedation

Fluoroscopic-guided needle insertion to disc space

Sequential dilator placement (7.5mm working channel)

Endoscope insertion with HD camera visualization

Herniated disc fragment identified and removed with forceps

Annular defect visualized — radiofrequency annuloplasty if needed

What is PELD?

Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy removes herniated disc material through a single 8mm incision under local anesthesia. The patient is awake throughout and can walk within hours — truly minimally invasive spine surgery.

Why China?

Pioneered in Asia: Largest global PELD case volume, refined technique
Cost: $4,500-$8,000 vs. $15,000-$35,000 in the US
Local anesthesia: No general anesthesia risk — safer for elderly patients
Same-day discharge: Walk within 2 hours, home same day

Who is a candidate?

Lumbar disc herniation with radiculopathy
Failed 6 weeks conservative treatment
Single-level disc herniation (L3-S1)

Outcomes

Success rate: 85-92%. Recurrence rate: 5-8%. Return to work: 2-4 weeks. Complication rate: <2%.

Skin crease incision (3-4cm)

Discectomy + endplate preparation

Implant sizing (Mobi-C / Prestige LP / ProDisc-C)

Artificial disc insertion under fluoroscopy

Range-of-motion testing

Soft collar for comfort (not immobilization)

What is Cervical Disc Replacement?

Unlike fusion, artificial disc replacement preserves motion at the operated level, reducing stress on adjacent segments and potentially preventing adjacent segment disease — the main long-term issue with fusion.

Why China?

Cost: $11,000-$18,000 vs. $40,000-$70,000 in the US
Same devices: Mobi-C, Prestige LP, ProDisc-C all available
Motion preservation: Avoids fusion and adjacent segment degeneration

Who is a candidate?

Single or 2-level cervical disc disease (C3-C7)
Radiculopathy or myelopathy from disc herniation/spondylosis
No facet arthropathy or instability at target level

Outcomes

7-year follow-up: superior to ACDF for overall success. Adjacent segment disease rate: 4% (vs 14% with ACDF). Return to activity: 4-6 weeks.
