The patient was put in Reverse Trendelenburg position with Valsalva maneuver and hyperventilation. No CSF leak. A free fat was harvested from the subcutaneous layer and covered the exposed parts of the root. to minimize postoperative scarring. Routine closure of the wound. Smooth postoperative recovery.

The estimated postoperative re-recurrence is still ranking around 7%, because the disc space is still relatively not shallow.
