Overview

Retrospective analysis shows open microdiscectomy and endoscopic discectomy yield similar pain relief, indicating informed choices for patients.

Key Points

  • Both open microdiscectomy and endoscopic discectomy provide similar pain relief, with no significant differences in recovery metrics.
  • Endoscopic discectomy had a higher dysesthesia rate (34.3%) compared to open microdiscectomy (3.3%), suggesting a higher complication risk.
  • Low reoperation rates were observed for both techniques, reinforcing their effectiveness in treating lumbar disc herniation.
  • Patient factors influenced return to work more than the choice of surgical technique after 60 days post-surgery.
