- Figure 1
Shown is an exemplary case of (a) an incidental durotomy that the surgeon encountered in the posterior dural during interlaminar endoscopy (b) for a herniated disc at L5/S1 (c, d) with the application of a hooded power burr.
- Figure 2
An exemplary case of an incidental durotomy is shown. (a) The tear was in the anterior dural sac during transforaminal endoscopy (b) for foraminal and lateral recess stenosis at L3-L4 with the application of a trephine. (c) A transected rootlet was removed from the decompression site. (d) The dural defect was created in the traversing nerve root.
- Figure 3
An exemplary case of an incidental durotomy is shown. (a) The tear caused a rootlet herniation and had occurred with (b) the use of the Kerrison rongeur during foraminoplasty by inadvertently “biting” the traversing nerve root.
