"Laser Spine Surgery" is misleading language used in promotional material from other centers. The unfortunate reality is that, many centers do a very traumatic access operation requiring a sizeable opening, stretching and tearing muscle, drilling and cutting out bone, ligament and joint.
The bone, ligament and joint removed is typically completely normal and healthy, doing an important job in the spine. But, removing it causes permanent damage and there may be permanent symptoms because of this damage (Failed Back Surgery Syndrome).
After doing this type of damaging opening, llaser is of no benefit. If used at all, it would be just in order to call it "Laser Surgery". In fact, Laser is only rarely needed in any spine procedure.
