Abstract
In general, young athletes diagnosed as having lumbar disc herniation are treated conservatively. However, most patients have limited time, just 3 years as high school students. Because they may miss the chance of returning to their sports activity, we should show them the plan including operative or nonoperative treatment and the period required for returning to play their sports activity as soon as possible. Transforaminal full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy under local anesthesia can be one of the promising procedures for young athletes.
