Abstract
Lumbar tubular parsectomy is an approach similar to the microdiscectomy, which can be applied to any lumbar or even thoracic level. The parsectomy can be employed when the entire length of a specific spinal nerve needs to be decompressed. If only the pars interarticularis is removed, the corresponding lamina remains anchored to the inferior facet and its joint, and therefore the level is not destabilized.
