Overview

Retrospective cohort study reveals clinical efficacy of treatments in lumbar disc herniation, indicating surgical complications may affect outcomes.

  • Both treatments show improvements in patient outcomes, with long-term results being similar after six months.
  • Retrospective cohort study included 613 patients undergoing either endoscopic or nonsurgical treatment.
  • Surgical complications such as epidural hematomas may influence clinical efficacy and recovery times.
