Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery: basic and advanced technique

Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery Description

Recently, bilateral portal endoscopic spine surgery has grown quickly, and UBE surgery may represent a new direction in spine surgery. The advantages of UBE surgery include being acquainted with spinal surgeons due to the surgical anatomy being comparable to a general surgical procedure and the short learning curve.

UBE surgery is a new idea of surgery that is different from the existing portal endoscopic surgery. An enlarged and clear endoscopic vision is necessary for the safe operation of the 4mm diameter endoscope, which offers an extremely clear image. In addition to endoscopic surgical instruments, standard surgical instruments may also be used during UBE procedures.
