Learning Curve of Uniportal Compared With Biportal Endoscopic Techniques for the Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation
Regardless of whether UBE or UFE is learned first, both techniques can significantly shorten the learning curve for the other technique. We recommend prioritizing the learning of UBE. Compared with UBE, the learning curve for UFE was significantly steeper and longer with higher incidence of complications in the early stage.
