Transforaminal Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (TPELD) is a surgical technique for managing lumbar disc herniation. The procedure demands a steep learning curve with regards to clinical improvement and technical challenges for disc evacuation. This study was to evaluate learning curve, outcome parameters, and MRI assessment for successful procedure in single - center early experience of Transforaminal Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (TPELD). This study was a retrospective cohort study, involving patients who underwent TPELD in our institution hospital by a single surgeon.
