In the UBE group 22 patients included 8 males and 14 females, aged 49 to 59 years old with a mean of (54.13±2.07) years old. In the PIED group 21 patients included 11 males and 10 females, aged 49 to 59 years old with a mean of (55.04±2.80) years old. Perioperative parameters including intraoperative blood loss, operative time, and fluoroscopic exposures were compared between groups. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, Oswestry disability index (ODI), and modified MacNab criteria. Complications during the perioperative period and follow-up were recorded.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In the PIED group, there were 3 cases of nerve injury, 1 case of residual nucleus pulposus, and 1 case of dural injury. In the UBE group, there was 1 case of nerve injury and 1 case of cerebrospinal fluid leakage. No infections or major bleeding occurred in either group. All patients completed surgery and were followed up for at least 12 months. The UBE group had significantly more intraoperative blood loss (39.09±6.10) ml and more fluoroscopic exposures (6.45±0.26) than the PIED group (34.05±5.62) ml and (3.24±0.28) with significant difference (<i>P</i><0.05). Preoperative VAS and ODI showed no significant differences between two groups (<i>P</i>>0.05). Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in VAS and ODI postoperatively (<i>P</i><0.001). At the 3rd days postoperatively, the UBE group had a significantly lower leg pain VAS (2.27±0.20) than the PIED gruop(2.95±0.24) with significant difference (<i>P</i><0.05), but no significant differences were observed at the first or 12th months (<i>P</i>>0.05). No significant differences in ODI were found between two groups during follow-up (<i>P</i>>0.05). At the 1st month postoperatively, according to modified MacNab criteria, 15 patients got excellent results, 4 good, and 2 fair in PIED group;and 18 patients got excellent results, 2 good, and 2 fair in UBE group, with no significant difference between two groups(<i>P</i>>0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Both PIED and UBE are effective surgical methods for treating highly migrated LDH. Compared with PIED, UBE involves slightly longer operative time, more blood loss, and more fluoroscopic exposures, but carries a lower risk of nerve injury.</p>","PeriodicalId":23964,"journal":{"name":"Zhongguo gu shang = China journal of orthopaedics and traumatology","volume":"38 11","pages":"1093-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145669887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
