PROCEDURE: Under general anesthesia, the patient was placed in the prone position. The back was prepped and draped in the usual manner. An incision was made extending through subcutaneous tissue. The lumbodorsal fascia was divided. The erector spinae muscles were bluntly dissected from the lamina of L4-5. The L4-5 interspace was localized via x-ray. We enlarged the laminotomy and foraminotomy, saw the extruded fragment, and removed it. We entered the disc space and removed much degenerating material. We decompressed the nerve root, satisfied there were no other free fragments. I irrigated the wound well.
