Transpars approach for L5-S1 foraminal and extra-foraminal lumbar disc herniations: technical note.

CONCLUSIONS: The trans pars microscopic approach is feasible, safe and effective for L5-S1 foraminal and extraforaminal disc herniation. During surgery, the key-point is the oblique working angle, directed caudally, parallel to L5 pedicle. The iliac crest does not seem to constitute an obstacle.
