In the following article, we explain the difference between laser and endoscopy, which is better, and how to treat cartilage diseases.
What is the difference between laser and endoscopy?
Surgical procedures have witnessed great development in the past years and so far, and therefore many good procedures have been used that help improve patients’ conditions without exposure to more complications that could affect a patient’s condition or his response to different treatment methods.
Among the diseases that have been treated with modern tools and devices, including lasers and endoscopes, is cartilage disease, which works to support the patient’s body when moving or moving between positions, including sitting and standing, and thus the person feels a great improvement in his health condition.
There are some differences between laser and laparoscopy and the extent of their impact on the affected person. The differences are as follows:
- Endoscopic surgery
Doctors can use the endoscope as one of the treatment methods for the cartilage in the back, and this is through the use of endoscopy, which is the use of a tube-like tool in the last part of which there is a light and a camera identify the condition of the cartilage. The surgery is completed by introducing other specialized tools and treating the cartilage. - Laser operation
Doctors began to use the laser as a means to treat the damaged cartilage, which works to improve the condition of the affected part and thus the patient returns to his normal practices, but the laser cannot perform all surgical procedures, so it is not very effective in treating herniated cartilage
Laser spine surgery
Laser spine surgery works to treat more than one disease affecting the spine, including cases of herniation or sciatica, and also works to improve the patient’s condition after exposure to arthritis that affects the health of the patient, and work can be done to improve the condition of the back cartilage using laser as well.
Laser neck cartilage surgery
The cartilage of the neck is found in the cervical vertebrae that the spine begins with, which gives the neck the freedom to move in more than one direction.
The laser can be used to treat the cartilage of the neck with the use of magnetic resonance imaging, which effectively determines the location of the injury, and thus the needle begins to enter the affected vertebrae and treat the affected part.
Laser cauterization of cartilage
There is cartilage in more than one part of the body, including the vertebrae in the back and joints, and the cartilage works to improve the person’s ability to move, stand, sit, connect the bones, as in the knee joint, and relieve the pressure placed on the joints due to the weight of the body.
When the cartilage is damaged or injured, the patient can resort to surgery after a conservative approach is taken in the treatment first, and surgery can be used with a laser cauterization procedure that is used to treat the cartilage in a better way without causing damage to the surrounding tissues.
