Microdiscectomy (MD) is a stan-dard technique for the surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Uniportal percutaneous full-endoscopic in-terlaminar lumbar discectomy (PELD) is another surgical op-tion that has become popular owing to reports of shorter hos-pitalization and earlier functional recovery. There are very few articles analyzing the total costs of these two techniques. The purpose of this study was to compare total hospital costs among microdiscectomy (MD) and uniportal percutaneous full-endoscopic interlaminar lumbar discectomy (PELD).
