The learning curve of percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy versus unilateral biportal endoscopic discectomy for lumbar disc herniation: a comparative study
Both PEID and UBED demonstrated comparable effectiveness and low complication rates in the treatment of LDH. Notably, the learning curve analysis revealed that achieving procedural proficiency required 45 cases for PEID, compared to 31 cases for UBED.
