In a case of a disc herniation L5/S1 and an olisthesis grade I with radicular pain L5 a microdiscectomy of the prolapse and parts of the retrolisthetic soft tissue was performed. An immediate reintervention was necessary due to postoperative symptoms of paralysis. Derangement of the retrolisthetic soft tissue was found to cause the increased L5-symptoms.
