Abstract

 Endoscopic spine surgeries are gradually evolving and being accepted by spine surgeons globally. Transforaminal approach discectomy is one of the initial surgeries done with a fully endoscopic approach. The transforaminal approach has various advantages. Nevertheless, it has certain limitations too, and a high lying iliac crest anatomically impeding access is one of them. An Interlaminar approach for L5-S1 herniated disc exploiting a wide interlaminar window is a phenomenal endoscopic approach to this common clinical problem.


Keywords: Endoscopic approach, Interlaminar Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy, L5-S1 Herniated Disc, Transforaminal approach.
