Comparative outcomes of unilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar intervertebral discectomy with and without annulus fibrosus suture in lumbar disc herniation: a retrospective analysis
Annulus fibrosus suturing during minimally invasive lumbar disc surgery may increase time and expense and reduce the risk of recurrent herniation and reoperation. Sutured and non-sutured techniques have equal clinical results and low intraoperative blood loss, making them feasible alternatives depending on the situation and patient demands.
