Unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) decompression technique is a percutaneous, full-endoscopic approach. Performed through two small incisions on either side of the spinous process, UBE allows freedom from the restrictions of working tubes or channels. With continuous high-pressure saline irrigation and a high-definition arthroscope, the surgeon can achieve precise decompression with a clear and magnified surgical field.
UBE endoscopy is an excellent alternative to microscopic-assisted minimally invasive surgery. Developed to improve muscle preservation and maintain surrounding normal anatomical structures, UBE has significant benefits over open spinal surgery.
