Comparison of biportal versus uniportal endoscopic decompression for the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease: a systematic review and meta‑analysis
Both uniportal and biportal endoscopic spine surgeries yield comparable postoperative outcomes in LDD. Although biportal surgery showed a modest advantage in ODI improvement, it did not reach the minimal clinically important difference. Uniportal surgery demonstrated greater efficiency in terms of operative time and recovery, particularly for discectomy procedures.
