An Iraqi patient  came with intermittent claudication and inability to walk more than 100 meter of stand for 5 min with bilateral drop feet for several months. MRI done (bad quality) showing complete stenosis at L4-5. The patient underwent complete laminectomy L4 with bilateral L5 foraminotomy. Despite the roots were free, but remained stretched over the moderately bulge and mobile disc L4-5. Considering these facts, discectomy L4-5 with bilateral cleaning was done to achieve total decompression of the L5 roots.
