Abstract
Endoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive and feasible option for the treatment of lumbar disc herniations. The technological advances applied to the new endoscopic instruments help to overcome the anatomical barriers that make this procedure difficult in complex anatomical situations. Currently, some techniques allow us to reach disc fragments distal to the intervertebral space. In this chapter, several options to overcome the anatomical barriers with endoscopic procedures are presented.
