Spine Endoscopy or Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy (UBE) is a minimally invasive surgery that is gaining recognition and is being widely used in clinical practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

><\/span><\/strong> Direct insertion of the endoscope lens: Allows for clear and direct visualization of the pathological region in the narrow lumbar canal.<\/span><\/p>\n

><\/span><\/strong> Precise localization of the pathology: The endoscopic approach facilitates the exact identification of compressed or degenerated areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

><\/span><\/strong> Advantage over microscopic surgery: In microscopic surgery, it is not possible to directly visualize inside the narrow lumbar canal as in endoscopy.<\/span><\/p>\n

><\/span><\/strong> Preservation of lumbar musculature: Being minimally invasive, the technique preserves the lumbar musculature, reducing surgical trauma and accelerating recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n
