Back pain can be cured in a day. Low back pain is a major clinical problem, that results in an significant socioeconomic burden. Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) is a new technique for the decompression of the lumbar disc space and removal of nucleus pulposus via a posterolateral approach. The technique was first introduced in Germany by the authors Kambin and Gellman in 1983. PELD surgery was initially intended for disc surgery. The method is indicated in patients with non sequestrated lumbar disc herniation with an intact dorsal longitudinal ligament.
