Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Unilateral biportal endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is used to treat a variety of spinal conditions. It involves the use of small endoscopes, which are specialized instruments that contain a camera and light source, to visualize the inside of the spine through small incisions in the skin.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes two small incisions in the skin and inserts the endoscopes through these portals. The endoscopes are used to visualize the inside of the spine and guide the surgeon as they perform the surgery.

Unilateral biportal endoscopic spine surgery may be used to treat conditions such as:

• Herniated discs

• Degenerative disc disease

• Spinal stenosis

• Spondylolisthesis

This type of surgery has several potential benefits over traditional open surgery, including less scarring, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and less pain. However, it may not be suitable for all patients or all types of spinal conditions. It's important to discuss your treatment options with a qualified spine surgeon to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
