Cost-effectiveness of microdiscectomy versus endoscopic discectomy for lumbar disc herniation

Microdiscectomy is a standard technique for the surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Endoscopic discectomy (ED) is another surgical option that has become popular owing to reports of shorter hospitalization and earlier return to work. No study has evaluated health care costs associated with lumbar discectomy techniques and compared cost-effectiveness.
