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.
