Popis: Under model conditions it proved possible, using a whole-body stereotactic apparatus, to focus on a human intervertebral disc and its prolapses and eliminate them by photocoagulation, using a laser. The suitable cannulae have a 3 mm diameter and an output of 6 to 12 W. The necessary lesion is reached in a fractionated manner within 1 minute. Thus the conditions were created for the new technique of percutaneous disectomy which has been done hitherto by means of chemical substances or mechanically by incision and suction.
