Endoscopic Spine Surgery: A Leap Forward in Minimally Invasive Care

Endoscopic spine surgery is revolutionizing spine care with techniques like Transforaminal Endoscopy (TFE) and Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy (UBE). These minimally invasive approaches treat conditions like disc herniations and stenosis with minimal tissue disruption, shorter recovery times, and excellent outcomes.

Transforaminal Endoscopy (TFE)

TFE uses a natural foramen to access the spine, making it ideal for lumbar disc herniations and radiculopathy. Performed under local anesthesia, it involves a small incision, endoscopic visualization, and precise nerve decompression. This results in faster recovery and preserved spinal stability.

Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy (UBE)

UBE employs two portals—one for the endoscope and another for instruments. This versatile technique treats central and foraminal stenosis and disc herniations with enhanced visualization and minimal tissue damage. Its adaptability extends to the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spine.

Advantages of Endoscopic Spine Surgery

• Minimal Invasiveness: Preserves muscles and spinal structures.

• Quick Recovery: Patients return to normal activities within days.

• Reduced Pain: Smaller incisions lead to less postoperative discomfort.

Endoscopic techniques like TFE and UBE are redefining spinal care, offering patients effective, precise, and minimally disruptive solutions.
