Abstract

New technologies such as robotics, virtual, and augmented reality, applied to spinal surgery, are being used to increase the procedure accuracy and patient safety. Among these technologies, intraoperative navigation has been associated with the aforementioned advantages. Furthermore, the emergence of endoscopic spinal surgery has made it possible to offer patients highly addressed procedures to the pathology generator. Degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine sometimes merit treatment through fusion procedures. One of them is transforaminal interbody fusion (TLIF). The implementation of intraoperative spinal navigation-assisted unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) to perform TLIF may be the next step in the technique’s evolution. Herein, we report the stepwise technique.
