• The comparison with nonsparing techniques indicates a similar level of effectiveness and safety in both approaches.
• Observational analysis across various literature identifies limitations in the current number of comparative studies available.
• Calls for more randomized controlled trials to further validate the findings and confirm long-term outcomes.
