Endoscopic lumbar discectomy showing surgical results
Endoscopic lumbar discectomy showing surgical results. A: Status post–endoscopic lumbar discectomy leading to decompression of the thecal sac (+). The extent of disc decompression involved the removal of disc material in the anterior epidural space (AES) and the posterior intervertebral disc (IVD), including the annulus. This exposed the thecal sac (+), anterior epidural space (AES; notice the epidural fat (•)), posterior longitudinal ligament (X), L4 vertebral inferior endplate (L4), and L5 vertebral inferior endplate (L5). B: Endoscopic removal of disc material from a patient with a large disc extrusion. C: Endoscopic removal of facet and vertebral bone from a patient with foraminal and lateral recess stenosis.
