Core Tip	Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy, a mature and mainstream minimally invasive surgical technique for treating lumbar disc herniation (LDH), needs more than 30 shots of fluoroscopy each level on average, causing a threat to human health. With the help of a new technique-ultrasound (US) guidance, we reported a patient with two levels LDH who received only 2 shots to achieve satisfactory results. US guidance had great potential to become an alternative method to reduce radiation largely.
