Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: transforaminal endoscopic discectomy
Endoscopic discectomy is an established method for treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Edoscopic discectomy provides a safe and minimal access corridor for lumbar discectomy. The technique also allows early postoperative mobilization and faster return to work.
Active Comparator: interlaminar endoscopic discectomy
Endoscopic discectomy is an established method for treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Edoscopic discectomy provides a safe and minimal access corridor for lumbar discectomy. The technique also allows early postoperative mobilization and faster return to work.
