The patient had been suffering from pain in the upper part of her left teat for a long time and they had great difficulty walking upstairs. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a herniated intervertebral disc of the lumbar spine in the L2-Dry segment, causing irritation of the L2 nerve root. This led to sharp pain not only when moving but also while at rest.
We applied in minimally invasive transforaminal endoscopic surgical treatment and removed the herniated disc using a 1cm incision. By doing so, we avoided disruption of the myelin sheets, so no scar tissue or infection developed after the procedure.
The pain disappeared immediately and a week later also a certain postoperative weakness. Within seven days, the client was able to stand up, lift loads, and walk up the stairs in complete comfort. Since then, she has not felt pain even during clumsy movements.
