Short-Term Clinical Outcomes and Safety of Microendoscope Discectomy and Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Discectomy for Lumbar Disc Herniation

Key Points

• The aim is to compare short-term clinical outcomes and safety between two surgical methods for lumbar disc herniation.
• Compared microendoscopic discectomy with unilateral biportal endoscopic discectomy
• Evaluated clinical outcomes and safety metrics
• Utilized a sample of patients with lumbar disc herniation
• Both methods showed effective outcomes in reducing symptoms
• Safety profiles for both techniques were favorable
• Findings suggest that minimally invasive approaches are viable options
