Transforaminal endoscopic discectomy with temporary percutaneous pedicle screw fixation as a fusion-sparing approach for giant recurrent L4/5 disc herniation and iatrogenic pars fracture in a young female: a case report

This case demonstrates that a minimally invasive endoscopic approach to discectomy combined with temporary pedicle screw fixation may be a promising motion-preserving alternative in select cases of recurrent disc herniation and iatrogenic pars fracture in younger patients.
