Procedure

The traditional open approach for treating far lateral disc herniations at L5-S1 is challenging. Alternatively, the transforaminal endoscopic approach lands directly at the far lateral zone and requires little or no facet resection to achieve decompression.

Far Lateral Transforaminal Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy

Child (D)

The ultra-minimally invasive trans-SAP approach provides a targeted corridor for accessing foraminal and lateral recess pathology, as well as cranial disc extrusions, particularly when facet anatomy or pathology limits a direct trajectory beneath the superior articular process. 1,2&nbsp;

Trans-SAP Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy

Un abordaje transforaminal o paraespinal permite acceder a hernias-laterales lejanas. El uso de un endoscopio específico para columna minimiza el daño a los tejidos blandos, lo que da como resultado menor dolor posoperatorio. 1,2 Además, estudios demostraron que aproximadamente el 85 % de los pacientes sometidos a discectomía lumbar endoscópica retornaron a la actividad deportiva en tan solo 6 a 8 semanas.3,4
