You have a left sided L5-SI disc..with left root canal stenosis.
You might be having left sided radicular symptoms.
1. Open/micro/endoscopic spine surgeries are done for all levels. These are just. Different techniques.
2. Endoscopic has least duration of stay and early recovery as it involves least dissection.
(1-2 days) . it is even done as a opd procedure in some centres.
3. Open and micro also duration of stay around 2-3 days depending on level and technique.
4. Technique depends on surgeon and patients choice. Nothing specific for type of PIVD(extrusion, sequestration etc).
