In cases of an acute disc bulge or a tear in the disc which causes material which is inside the disc to come out compressing on the spinal cord we can do a scarless removal of the disc using radiofrequency ablation or microwave ablation, this involves burning of the disc material which is occupying or compressing the spinal cord. This can be done only in acute cases when the disc is very small but the advantages are that absolutely no scar and very less blood loss.
