Abstract
Nerve root retraction is a component of lumbar disc surgery. The authors de scribe a transdural approach for lumbar microdiscectomy through the nerve r oot, instead of retracting the root. This technique can be safely used in r are cases where root manipulation is considered to be difficult and dangero us.
