A case with lateral recess stenosis treated by the visualized reamed foraminoplasty technique. Preoperative MRI (a, b) and CT (c) of a 60-year-old woman with right leg radiating pain showed lateral recess stenosis and disc herniation of L4/5. The L5 nerve root was fully released after decompression (d).
