Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and clinical effect of endoscopic foraminoplasty and neuro-ventral
decompression for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation combining with lateral recess stenosis.
Method: From June 2015 to August 2016, thirty patients with typical radicular symptoms and neurogenic
intermittent claudication were treated. There were 17 cases with lumbar disc herniation with lateral recess stenosis
