Percutaneous stenoscopy lumbar decompression (PLSD) is a minimally invasive procedure to treat herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP). The most common and dangerous complication of this procedure is cerebrospinal (CSF) leakage. If there is an undetectable small tear in the dura during surgery or known as an occult dural tear (ODT), it can lead to a delayed CSF leakage.
