Comparison of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) and unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) discectomy in the treatment of far lateral lumbar disc herniation (FLLDH): a retrospective study
Both PELD and UBE discectomy are safe and effective surgical procedures which can achieve satisfactory results in treating FLLDH. PELD causes less back pain in the immediate postoperative period. PELD offers advantages in rapid recovery, while UBE discectomy is a suitable option for patients with conditions such as high iliac crest, hypertrophy of the transverse process, or intolerance to pain under local anesthesia.
