Biportal endoscopic spine surgery has undergone rapid development in recent years, with Unilateral biportal endoscopic spine (UBE) surgery emerging as a new frontier in spine surgery. Unlike traditional single portal endoscopic surgery, UBE surgery represents a novel approach characterized by familiarity to spinal surgeons due to its similarity to general surgical methods and a shortened learning curve. Utilizing a 4mm diameter endoscope, UBE surgery offers exceptionally clear visualization, allowing for safe operation under magnification. Moreover, it permits the use of both endoscopic and general surgical instruments during procedures.

Currently, UBE surgery is not only performed in the lumbar spine but also in the cervical and thoracic regions, enabling procedures such as simple laminectomy, disc removal, and spinal fusion. As UBE surgery continues to advance, spinal surgeons worldwide have increasingly adopted this technique, leading to its gradual dissemination globally. This forthcoming book will serve as the premier resource, offering a comprehensive overview of basic to advanced UBE techniques supplemented by abundant illustrations and videos to facilitate understanding.
