Comments

bullet

The patient had downward migrating disc  compression of the root with hard disc, causing agonizing sciatica. If the piece was soft, no need for surgery, but the piece is hard in consistency and it will not shrink with time.

bullet

The piece was fully separated from the annulus fibrosis, due to what it was shifted to the right side during exposure. It was attacked from both sides.

bullet

The estimated postoperative recurrence is still around 7%, because the disc space is not shallow.
