Preoperative herniation indices of the lesion segments of cervical disc ranged from 0.10 to \u223c0.54, whereas the indices ranged from 0.06 to \u223c0.39 at the last follow-up, that is, they diminished distinctly (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n <0.05). Preoperative herniation indices of the lesion segments of lumbar disc ranged from 0 to \u223c0.71, whereas the indices ranged from 0 to \u223c0.48 at the last follow-up, which had significant statistical difference (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n <0.01).\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:bold>\n PLDD did not obviously lower the height of the intervertebral space, instead, it could effectively promote the reduction of disc herniation. By analyzing the medical images, we found that PLDD is a safe and effective minimal invasive surgery for cervical and lumbar disc diseases.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/pho.2012.3433","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,6]],"date-time":"2013-06-06T10:27:03Z","timestamp":1370514423000},"page":"247-251","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Medium-Term Follow-Up Findings in Imaging Manifestation After Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Longxi","family":"Ren","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Chuiyangliu Hospital","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Baofeng","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Chuiyangliu Hospital","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tongtong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Chuiyangliu Hospital","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qiutie","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiao-hong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Linlin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing University of Technology","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanjun","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing University of Technology","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"771","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198709173171217","article-title":"Percutaneous laser nucleolysis of lumbar disc","volume":"317","author":"Choy D.S.J.","year":"1987","unstructured":"Choy D.S.J., , Case R.B., , Fielding W. et al. 1987.
