Comparison of unilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar fusion and modified minimally invasive tubular lumbar fusion for lumbar disc herniation: a two-year retrospective study
Both UBE-TLIF and MIS-TLIF demonstrate comparable medium- and long-term clinical efficacy for LDH. UBE-TLIF is associated with less postoperative drainage and significantly better early pain relief, suggesting less soft tissue trauma. However, it was linked to a longer operative time in this study.
