Comparative study of the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive interlaminar full-endoscopic discectomy versus conventional microscopic discectomy in single-level lumbar herniated intervertebral disc (ENDO-F Trial): a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial protocol

Abstract: Background Advances in minimally invasive surgery have expanded the indications for interlaminar full-endoscopic discectomy. Although the clinical outcomes for this approach may be equivalent to those of conventional microscopic discectomy, the supporting evidence is still based on small, single-center, prospective, and retrospective studies. Therefore, a multicenter randomized controlled trial is warranted. Methods This will be a prospective, mult… Show more

“…More satisfactory clinical results were obtained by applying the full endoscopic technique compared with conventional open discectomy [5]. Full endoscopic discectomy provides significant benefits to patients compared to conventional open surgery in terms of hospitalization, postoperative pain, wound complications, and a more rapid return to the workplace; therefore, its use is spreading worldwide [6][7][8][9][10]. However, endoscopic equipment such as cameras, drills, and bipolar devices incur initial costs.…”

“…Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) has become a prominent treatment procedure for lumbar disc herniation (LDH) due to advancements in minimally invasive surgical procedures [1]. Specifically, PELD has various advantages over traditional surgical discectomy, including a speedier recovery, a smaller skin incision with less scarring and muscle damage, a lower infection rate, a less painful procedure, and a shorter hospital stay [2,3].…”
