The Disc-FX® System is an innovative, minimal access spine system designed to efficiently access the damaged disc without injury to the surrounding disc anatomy.

It is a minimal access procedure performed on an out-patient basis whereby the patient will go home the same day of the procedure with only a small bandage on their back. Disc-FX® is performed using x-ray guidance to accurately place the Disc-FX® System into the disc. The patented Disc-FX® device is then inserted into the center of the disc where tissue is precisely treated and/or removed. As a result, disc pressure is reduced, which eases symptoms.

Patients with symptomatic, contained lumbar disc herniations that have not responded to conservative treatment, may experience relief from a Disc-FX® procedure. Typical signs of a contained lumbar disc herniation are lower back pain or pain radiating down the leg accompanied by some lower back pain.

Schedule an evaluation visit with Dr. Vodapally to learn if you are the right candidate for the minimally invasive lumbar discectomy using Disc-FX® System.
