Object: Few studies have addressed surgical failures and complications following percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD), and no previous study has investigated the risk factors that lead to surgical failure. The authors report their experience using PELD for single-level lumbar disc herniation (LDH) to provide insights into the rates of surgical failure and identify potential risk factors that lead to this complication.

Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 350 patients who underwent PELD for single-level LDH and identified 36 patients (10.3%) who underwent reoperation due to the failure of PELD.

Results: Patients mean visual analog scale of pain scores and Oswestry Disability Index scores improved significantly from 6.6 ± 2.1 and 51.6 ± 19.4 preoperatively to 1.9 ± 1.4 and 28.3 ± 12.0, respectively, at 1 month postoperatively and 1.2 ± 1.1 a...
