Abstract
Although percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) has been popularized as an alternative to microscopic lumbar discectomy, it has been reported to be associated with a re-herniation rate of 5-11%. Recurrent lumbar disc herniation (RLDH) might occur not only at the same level previously operated upon but also at the annular penetration site created during PELD procedures. Biportal endoscopic paraspinal approach (BE-Para) was used for revisional foraminal lumbar discectomy. Procedures and some discussions regarding indications, advantages, potential complications, and ways to avoid complications were described. BE-Para may be an effective modality for RLDH after PELD.
