Comparison of the Converging Decompression Technique and Foraminoplasty Percutaneous Transforaminal Endoscopic Discectomy in the Treatment of Very Highly Upward Migrated Lumbar Disc Herniation
Both CDT and foraminoplasty PTED are safe and effective treatments for VHUM-LDH. However, CDT offers enhanced endoscopic efficiency and a reduced risk of postoperative nucleus pulposus remnants. Further prospective studies with larger cohorts and extended follow-up are required to fully assess the advantages and limitations of both techniques.
