He had suffered from spinal canal stenosis and herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP<\/jats:styled-content>) at the level of L4\u2010L5<\/jats:styled-content> for more than a year and had been treated conservatively. However, the pain could not be alleviated, and his primary care physician scheduled posterior decompression surgery. During this procedure, the anesthesiologist refused to induce general anesthesia because of the patient's very poor pulmonary condition. Subsequently, the patient was referred to us. We used a transforaminal approach with percutaneous endoscopic discectomy, with the patient under local anesthesia. First, herniated nucleus pulposus fragments at the disc level were removed. With a trephine drill, the upper part of the L5 pedicle was removed, which allowed for the extraction of dorsally migrated fragments. Following complete removal of the herniated nucleus pulposus fragments, osseous decompression was performed. The osseous endplate of L5<\/jats:styled-content> (anterior part of the lateral recess) was removed to enlarge the lateral recess so that decompression of the L5<\/jats:styled-content> nerve root was possible. The patient's lower back pain and right leg pain subsided following surgery. Percutaneous endoscopic discectomy is useful for patients with severe comorbidities as it can be done with local anesthesia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ases.12004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,22]],"date-time":"2013-04-22T06:44:19Z","timestamp":1366613059000},"page":"130-133","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal approach to decompress the lateral recess in an elderly patient with spinal canal stenosis, herniated nucleus pulposus and pulmonary comorbidities"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Yoshihiro","family":"Kitahama","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery Teikyo University Mizonokuchi Hospital Kawasaki Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Koichi","family":"Sairyo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery Teikyo University Mizonokuchi Hospital Kawasaki Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akira","family":"Dezawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery Teikyo University Mizonokuchi Hospital Kawasaki Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","first-page":"327","article-title":"The evolution of percutaneous spinal endoscopy and discectomy: State of the art","volume":"67","author":"Yeung AT","year":"2000","journal-title":"Mt Sinai J Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-200204010-00009"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-198901000-00003","article-title":"Percutaneous nucleotomy.
