Feasibility of Recurrent Herniation Surgery with Biportal Endoscopic Discectomy : A Comparison of Biportal Endoscopic Discectomy and Microscopic Discectomy for Recurrent Disc Herniation

Key Points

To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of biportal endoscopic discectomy compared to microscopic discectomy for recurrent disc herniation.
Compared outcomes of biportal endoscopic discectomy (UBE) and microscopic discectomy (MD) for recurrent disc herniation.
Assessed factors such as back pain, bleeding loss, and duration of hospital stay post-surgery.
UBE showed superior outcomes in reducing short-term back pain compared to MD.
UBE experienced less bleeding loss than MD.
Patients undergoing UBE had a shorter length of hospital stay after surgery.

Abstract

Both UBE and MD could achieve good long-term outcomes; however, UBE revision was superior in terms of short-term back pain, bleeding loss, and length of hospital stay after surgery.
