ABSTRACT Objective: In Brazil, there are no studies comparing endoscopic treatment of lumbar disc herniation with the conventional open technique in SUS (Unified Health System) regard to hospitalization time and complications occurring within one year, which is objective this study. Methods: A survey 32 surgeries performed 2019 (11 21 endoscopic) evaluate pain parameters before after surgery (VAS), days hospitalization, complications. The data were submitted statistical analysis (ANOVA) using Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: Fourteen patients female eighteen male, a mean age 41.35 years (p> 0.05 between sexes). pre- postoperative VAS for radiating lower limb similar groups: 8.5 ± 0.82 8.19 1.15 technique. both groups was an improvement pattern significant reduction (p < 0.05) relevance terms improvement. There comparison required, group having number days. reported compatible those found literature (postoperative dysesthesia, new herniation). Conclusions: resulted important factor high impact on costs any surgical procedure, can be determining feasibility minimally invasive techniques. Level evidence IV; Therapeutic Study.
