Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1.Age 18-75 years, diagnosed with single-segment lumbar disc herniation. 2.Meet the indications for Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (PELD) (confirmed by imaging as lumbar disc herniation / failure of conservative treatment). 3. Postoperative follow-up = 3 months, with complete medical records (including Visual Analog Scale [VAS] and Oswestry Disability Index [ODI] scores). 4. Diabetic patients: have a documented history of type 1 or type 2 diabetes (requiring medical record or evidence of glucose-lowering medication use), OR have preoperative fasting plasma glucose =7.0 mmol/L AND glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) =6.5%. Non-diabetic patients: have no history of diabetes, AND have preoperative fasting plasma glucose <6.1 mmol/L AND HbA1c <5.7%.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. History of previous lumbar spine surgery. 2.Presence of systemic diseases that severely impact surgery and prognosis, such as uncontrolled severe cardiopulmonary failure, advanced malignant tumors, severe hepatic or renal dysfunction, etc. 3.Patients with manifestations of cauda equina syndrome, or those with concurrent spinal fractures, tumors, infections, or lower extremity joint diseases — in other words, patients whose condition is not solely attributed to disc herniation. 4.
