Multilevel biportal endoscopic treatment for lumbar disc herniations: A case report and surgical video

Abstract

We present a 61-year-old male suffering from longstanding back pain and newly developed left leg pain. Magnetic
resonance imaging revealed an extruded and down-migrated central disc herniation at the L3-4 level and a leftsided
subarticular L2-3 disc herniation. We decided to perform a left unilateral biportal endoscopic surgery to
assess both disc herniations. The case, the surgical video, and the fast recovery of the patient highlight the benefits
of applying the biportal endoscopic surgical techniques for treating multilevel lumbar pathology.
