 It is well known that the extraforaminal approach at L5-S1 is challenging because of anatomical limitations, such as the back muscle mass and prominence of the posterior iliac crest. We report a case of lumbar foraminal stenosis in which it was difficult to position a tubular retractor in the extraforaminal space because of a high iliac crest. Because of the possibility that nerve decompression at the expense of the posterior bony elements might cause subsequent spinal instability, we created a route by drilling a hole through the iliac crest in order to be able to position the tubular retractor outside the foramen. As a result we were able to leave the isthmus and facet joint intact and achieve a good postoperative clinical outcome. The trans-iliac crest approach with a spinal microendoscope that avoids destruction of the posterior bony elements is a good approach for the treatment of foraminal stenosis at L5-S1 in patients with a high iliac crest.
