The patient suddenly experienced a sharp stabbing pain in his left thigh that made it almost impossible for him to walk. And when he tried to walk a few steps, he had to keep his body in a bend. During a neurological examination, the patient showed numbness in the area of the left L2 dermatome and weakness in the left thigh.
Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the cause of the problem was intraforaminal disk herniation. The patient was strongly recommended a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure. The surgery was excellent and all neurological symptoms and pain disappeared immediately.

The patient suffered from right-sided sciatica for 10 days, which, in addition to leg pain, was also manifested by tingling and numbness in the left lower limb. During a neurological examination, the right part of her left foot showed an unnatural decline. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a huge extraforaminal disk herniation in the L5/S1 segment that was pressing on the L5 nerve root.
We applied a minimally invasive endoscopic removal of the herniated disk. Pain, weakness, and numbness immediately after the surgery disappeared and the patient left our clinic happy and without any limitations.

The patient had been suffering from pain in the upper part of her left thigh for a long time and had great difficulty walking upstairs. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a herniated intervertebral disk of the lumbar spine in the L2/3 segment, causing irritation of the L2 nerve root. This led to sharp pain not only when moving but also while at rest.
We applied a minimally invasive transforaminal endoscopic surgical treatment and removed the herniated disc using a 1 cm incision. By doing so, we avoided disruption of the myelin sheaths, so no scar tissue or infection developed after the procedure.
The pain disappeared immediately and a week later also a certain postoperative weakness. Within seven days, the client was able to stand up, lift loads, and walk up the stairs in complete comfort. Since then, she has not felt pain even during clumsy movements.
