Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Unilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar discectomy (UBE) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for treating lumbar disc herniation that is associated with bony and soft tissue stenosis. This technique best suits surgeons who want to take advantage of their great experience with the translaminar approach. It simplifies the endoscopic learning curve by placing the endoscopic working cannula onto the posterior spinal elements rather than placing it into the neuroforamen. This chapter describes the technical and procedural aspects of UBE by providing a detailed overview of the procedure, its indications, contraindications, surgical steps, and potential complications. Furthermore, we highlight the advantages and limitations of this innovative technique and discuss its established role in spinal surgery.
