Key Words	Far lateral lumbar disc herniation; Selective nerve root block; Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy; Diagnosis; Minimally invasive treatment
Core Tip	This study assessed percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) combined with selective nerve root block (SNRB) for far lateral lumbar disc herniation (FLLDH) in 30 prospectively recruited patients. The clinical characteristics, operative and postoperative outcomes, complication and subsequent follow-up were collected. These results suggest that SNRB provides an effective method for the definite diagnosis of FLDH and responsible nerve roots. SNRB combined with PETD for treating FLLDH offers several advantages including minimal invasiveness, precision, effectiveness, safety and low recurrence rates, thus warranting further investigation.
