Endoscopic discectomy (closed disc herniation surgery) has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it is performed through a small incision without the need to scrape muscle tissue and remove bone tissue. Since it causes less soft and bone tissue damage, less pain and faster recovery are provided after closed lumbar hernia surgeries.
What is the success rate of endoscopic discectomy?
Studies in the field of show that endoscopic discectomy success rate of PESD is 88% in soft disc herniations. Of the remaining 12%, 7% reported moderate satisfaction. 5% required open surgery.
