Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has emerged as a highly effective and safe option in all surgical areas of medicine, and spine surgery is no exception. The “minimally invasive” concept includes various elements: the in-depth analysis of each case, allowing planning the surgical treatment for each patient. Among the critical information that must be known to plan is the correct identification of the anatomical structure that generates the pathology, which leads to the most important advantage of MIS in spinal surgery, the ability to be highly precise and targeted to the pathology avoiding the procedure-related damage to normal anatomy. Therefore, accuracy is a distinctive quality of MIS, especially in spinal surgery.
The way to be more precise in MIS to avoid iatrogenic damage motivates the evolution in surgical techniques. This defines MIS spine surgery as a set of procedures applied to different pathologies that depend on the development of skills by the surgeon and the use of various technologies to resolve the disease with the least possible impact on the patient’s anatomy, with minimal repercussions on the daily life of each person requiring care. This means a quicker and more tolerable return to physical activity.
Endoscopic spine surgery is based on a target-addressed concept that determines its ability to be highly accurate. This book will focus on one particular spinal endoscopic technique, the biportal endoscopic spine surgery (BESS) or unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE).
