Abstract
The Authors report on nine cases of thoracic disc hernia operated on through Carson's posterolateral approach. Several steps were taken to protect the spinal cord, and to remove completely disc fragments and any calcifications. The importance of the combined use of the operating microscope and the posterolateral approach are emphasized, and the longterm results are evaluated.Keywords
