Case description

Minimally invasive removal of a massive L5–S1 disc protrusion with interbody stabilization (TLIF).

This video demonstrates a minimally invasive treatment of a massive L5–S1 disc herniation with neural decompression and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).

Key steps include a widened left-sided fenestration, flavectomy, microdiscectomy, meticulous endplate preparation, and TLIF cage insertion with fluoroscopic confirmation of position and alignment.

Metrics: skin incision ≈25 mm; operative time 35 minutes.

Outcome: immediate neural decompression; patient discharged home on postoperative day 3 with regression of the neurological deficit.
