Abstract

Gun Choi, Priyank Uniyal, Wook Ha Kim, Zohier Hassan, Bhupesh Patel and JH Lee

The Authors report a new technique with trans sacral epiduroscopy assisted Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (PELD) for high grade centrally down migrated lumbar disc herniation. When the chances of missing the disc fragments are high, as in the cases of down migrated disc herniations by conventional transforaminal PELD, it can be assisted by sacral epiduroscopy for the complete removal and confirmation of any remnant disc fragments.
