Comparison of clinical efficacy of posterior percutaneous endoscopic cervical discectomy versus unilateral biportal endoscopy key-hole techniques for cervical spondylotic radiculopathy: a retrospective study with 2 years

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2025 • February 14, 2025

This retrospective study compared PECD and UBE for CSR treatment, finding both effective in improving VAS and NDI scores. The study included 70 patients, with 40 undergoing PECD and 30 undergoing UBE....

KEY FINDING: UBE group had shorter operative time compared to the PECD group (65.6 ± 17.6 vs. 85.1 ± 24.2 min, p < 0.001), but the former had longer incision length than the latter (2.4 ± 0.4 cm vs. 1.3 ± 0.4 cm, p < 0.001).
