Retrospective analysis of paraspinal muscle-splitting microscopic-assisted discectomy versus percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy for the treatment of far-lateral lumbar disc herniation

Compared with the PELD technique, the MD procedure offers a wider field of vision during operation, shorter operation time, fewer postoperative complications, and shorter learning curve.PMID:34859838 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.35699-21.3
