Dual-media spinal endoscopy versus unilateral biportal endoscopy for single-level degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis: a comparative study of mid-term outcomes.

Comparison of unilateral biportal endoscopic decompression and percutaneous endoscopic lumbar decompression for single-segment degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis: a retrospective comparative study involving clinical efficacy and cost analysis

To compare the clinical efficacy and hospitalization medical cost associated with unilateral biportal endoscopic decompression (UBED) vs. percutaneous endoscopic lumbar decompression (PELD) for the treatment of single-segment degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS). This retrospective study included 94...

Comparative outcomes of uni-portal non-coaxial spinal endoscopic surgery and unilateral biportal spinal endoscopy for far-lateral lumbar disc herniation involving the foraminal region: a retrospective study.

[Single-portal endoscopic decompression for degenerative lumbosacral spinal stenosis: a prospective single-center study].

BACKGROUND Degenerative lumbosacral spinal stenosis is one of the leading causes of chronic pain and disability in elderly patients. Single-portal endoscopic interlaminar bilateral decompression is a promising minimally invasive method. However, prospective data are limited. MATERIAL AND METHODS A single-center prosp...

Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy in Spinal Surgery:Current Evidence, Surgical Techniques, Clinical Outcomes, Complications, Learning Curve, and Future Perspectives

Unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE), also termed biportal endoscopic spine surgery, has emerged as a versatile minimally invasive platform for lumbar decompression, discectomy, and interbody fusion. Separate viewing and working portals combine endoscopic visualization with independent manipulation of conventional spina...

Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy Versus Percutaneous Endoscopic Interlaminar Discectomy for Highly Migrated Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Retrospective Comparative Study With Quantitative MRI-Based Decompression Analysis.

Study designRetrospective comparative cohort study.ObjectiveTo compare the perioperative, clinical, and radiographic outcomes of unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) and percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID) in the treatment of highly migrated lumbar disc herniation (HMLDH).MethodsA total of 128 patient...

Cost-effectiveness of full-endoscopic, unilateral biportal endoscopic, and microscopic decompression for single-level lumbar spinal stenosis: a 2-year comparative analysis.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes and healthcare costs of full-endoscopic decompression (FED), unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) decompression, and microscopic decompression (MD) for single-level lumbar spinal stenosis over a 2-year follow-up period. METHODS The authors retrospec...
