Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy
for All Types of Lumbar Disc Herniations (LDH)
Including Severely Difficult and Extremely
Difficult LDH Cases
Abstract:Background: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is being treated with limited indication by percutaneous
full endoscopic lumbar discectomy. However, microscopic lumbar discectomy (MLD) is still considered
