We describe the case of a 62-year-old male patient with multiple comorbidities who attended the outpatient clinic due to severe low back pain compatible with T12-L1-L2 spondylodiscitis. Endoscopy was performed with a left posterolateral approach and an all-inside technique for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A germ was isolated and treated with specific antibiotics. Due to the good clinical evolution, the patient was discharged 7 days after surgery with good pain management and home intravenous antibiotic therapy. A brief literature review is presented.
