Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic (UBE) is a significant innovation in spinal surgery.
UBE makes it possible for more patients to undergo spinal surgery and increases the chances of its success.

Patients who would have been regarded as inoperable for open surgery due to age extremes, health issues or other limitations, can now benefit from UBE.
Using two small incisions, UBE provides enhanced manoeuvrability, vision and large working environment for surgeons.

As opposed to traditional open spinal surgery, the biportal approach offers a superior, minimally invasive option for patients. As it is minimally invasive, the advantages are reduced tissue damage, minimal scarring, preserved stability of the region, and faster recovery.

Advantages:
• Minimally invasive: UBE involves small incisions of portals, causing reduced tissue trauma, less blood loss, and faster recovery
• Reduced pain and scarring: The smaller incision leads to reduced post-operative pain and scarring
• Faster recovery: Patients typically experience a shorter hospital stay and return to normal activities quicker compared with open surgery
• Targeted treatment: UBE techniques provide direct visualisation of the affected area, allowing for targeted treatment and precise surgical manoeuvres
• Lower incidence of complications
