Comparison of Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes Between Percutaneous Endoscopic Transforaminal Diskectomy and Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Diskectomy for the Treatment of L4/5-Level MSU Size-3 Lumbar Disk Herniation: A 2-Year Retrospective Cohort
Both PETD and UBED can achieve favorable clinical outcomes in the treatment of L4/5-level MSU Size-3 LDH. Compared with UBED, PETD performed under local anesthesia offers superior short-term postoperative incision pain relief, improved perioperative quality of life, and reduced surgical invasiveness.
