Foraminotomy both L5 roots with removal of the extrusion lateral to the axilla from the left side. After that, the root became lax and left sided intradiscal cleaning L4-5 disc space was done. The patient was put in Reverse Trendelenburg position with Valsalva maneuver and hyperventilation. No CSF leak. A fat in pedicle was transferred from the subcutaneous layer and covered the exposed parts of the dura and roots to minimize postoperative scarring. Routine closure of the wound. Smooth postoperative recovery. The power of the left foot dramatically improved. He was sent to the ward.

Comments

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