    Figure 1

    Intraoperative transforaminal endoscopic view of durotomy (blue dashed line) in the traversing L5 nerve root sleeve. The remaining intervertebral disc (orange dashed line) is shown. A small adherent portion of the herniated disc (beige dashed line) below the traversing nerve root was common to both durotomy patients: (a) durotomy case I with oval durotomy, and (b) durotomy case II with a small longitudinal rent. In both cases, the rootlet herniations through the durotomy site were successfully managed with observation and bed rest. No attempt at repairing the durotomy was made in either patient. Abbreviation: SAP, superior articular process.
