Abstract

The authors report a new approach of the intervertebral foramen using a conservative hemi-transverso-arthro-pediculotomy. It allows to remove one half of the posterior neural arch and to follow the nervous bundle from its origin to the extra-foraminal space. Removal of the foraminal disc herniation is easy and safe. The monobloc is replaced to prevent any instability.
