28 year old male, with sciatica-like symptoms involving the left leg. MRI showed Herniated disc at L5-S1. Transiliac Endoscopic discectomy was performed under local anaesthesia with awake, yet very comfortable patient conversing all the while throughout the procedure! Note the size of the scar (less than a centimetre) and a “thumbs-up” from the patient immediately after the procedure
