Abstract

Objective: In this study we aimed to see whether PLDD is effective or not.

Method: We investigated whether nucleotomy performed in combination with PLDD (n=64) had any effect on VAS scores estimated at postprocedural 1. week, 1., 6. months and 1., 2. years, and compared pre-, and postoperative VAS scores.

Results: Preoperative VAS scores were higher than postoperative VAS scores in PLDD applied patients.

Conclusion: PLDD nucleotomy is very effective.
