The Evolution of Spinal Surgery Techniques
Spinal surgery has undergone remarkable transformation over the past few decades. Traditional open spine surgeries, while effective, often resulted in significant muscle damage, extended hospital stays, and prolonged recovery periods. The pursuit of less invasive alternatives led to the development of various minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) techniques, including tubular retractor systems and uniportal endoscopic approaches.
Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy represents the latest advancement in this evolutionary journey. Unlike its predecessors, UBE combines the advantages of microscopic visualization with the minimal invasiveness of endoscopic techniques. By separating the viewing portal from the working portal, UBE overcomes many of the limitations associated with earlier minimally invasive approaches, particularly the restricted field of vision and limited maneuverability.
