Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery; Basic and Advanced Technique

Biportal endoscopic spine surgery has seen rapid advancements, with Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic (UBE) surgery emerging as a promising innovation in the field. Unlike traditional single-portal endoscopic procedures, UBE surgery offers a distinct approach that closely aligns with conventional spinal surgical anatomy, making it more intuitive for spine surgeons and allowing for a shorter learning curve.

With a 4mm diameter endoscope providing a high-definition, magnified view, UBE surgery enables precise and safe procedures. A key advantage is the ability to use both standard surgical instruments and specialized endoscopic tools, enhancing versatility. Initially developed for lumbar spine procedures, UBE surgery is now being successfully applied to cervical and thoracic spine surgeries, including laminectomy, disc removal, and spinal fusion.

As UBE surgery gains global traction, more spinal surgeons worldwide are incorporating it into their practice. This book is the first comprehensive guide to cover both fundamental principles and advanced techniques, featuring extensive illustrations and video resources for clear and effective learning.
