Objective To analyze the treatment effect of AUSS (joint endoscope-assisted single incision spinal surgery) in patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation compared with UBE (single-side dual-channel endoscopic spinal surgery). Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation who received UBE treatment at our hospital from January to December 2022 were retrospectively collected and analyzed, and were set as the control group. The clinical data of 25 patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation who received AUSS treatment at our hospital from January to December 2023 were retrospectively collected and analyzed, and were set as the observation group. The surgical information, postoperative course, and postoperative lumbar spine rehabilitation effect of the two groups were compared. Results The surgical information of the observation group was better than that of the control group, and the postoperative course was better than that of the control group, with statistical significance (P <0.05). After different treatments, the observation group had lower pain scores, better lumbar spine mobility recovery, and lower ODI functional disability scores, with statistical significance (P <0.05). Conclusion AUSS technology is superior to UBE treatment in terms of shorter operative time, lower blood loss, faster postoperative progression, earlier recovery of lumbar function, and earlier return to work. The clinical application of this procedure can provide more options for patients with lumbar disc herniation.
