In the thoracic spine, when disc herniation causes cord compression in anterior region, it is difficult to access space. When using unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) technique, can be accessed from various angles with minimal damage normal tissue. We performed cage insertion UBE treating a patient myelopathy due proximal junctional failure spine. A 77-year-old woman prior spinal fusions and recent kyphosis presented myelopathy. The first visited our hospital gait instability decreased...
The application area of biportal endoscopic spine surgery (BESS) is gradually expanding. Compared with conventional fusion surgery, transforaminal interbody (TLIF) using BESS (BESS-TLIF) has the advantages less bleeding, minimal postoperative pain, and faster recovery. This technical note highlights its in managing complex conditions such as scar tissue adhesion, altered anatomy, implant removal, common reoperations. method focuses on precise dissection, visualization, careful handling to...
Introduction: Revision surgery in the spine poses considerable challenges due to presence of scar tissue and structural differences, necessitating careful surgical planning precise techniques. In this technical note, we focus on lumbar unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) for single‐level reoperations, outlining principles methods handling soft such cases. Materials Methods: We reviewed our approach reoperations with UBE, emphasizing importance meticulous preoperative bone‐centered...
