We analyzed the effectiveness laser vaporization in 230 patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the lumbar spine (protrusions and hernias of the intervertebral discs) treated in the neurosurgical department of the Irkutsk Scientific Centre of Surgery and Traumatology for the period from 2011 to 2018.
