Non-pressurized percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal lumbar discectomy in the treatment of cauda equina syndrome caused by lumbar disc herniation

In this preliminary retrospective study, the non-pressurized PETD technique was associated with similar medium-term outcomes and a faster short-term recovery compared to TLIF. These findings require validation in larger, prospective, randomized controlled trials to establish comparative efficacy.
