This study aims to compare the endoscopic versus open lumbar discectomy in diabetic patients.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a highly prevalent disease with the capacity to adversely affect nearly every major organ system. DM has been demonstrated as a risk factor for a variety of complications within medical and surgical spheres Open lumbar discectomy is the most common surgical discectomy technique and is considered by many to be the gold standard.
Endoscopic lumbar discectomy allowed spinal surgeons to decompress a symptomatic lumbar nerve root by using an endoscopic minimally invasive surgical approach.
