    "abstract": "Unilateral biportal endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (UBE-TLIF) is an advanced, minimally invasive spinal surgical technique characterized by the use of 2 discrete portals-one for clear visualization and continuous irrigation and the other for the dexterous manipulation of surgical instruments. This configuration not only affords an expanded view (0\u00b0 or 30\u00b0) but also enhances the freedom of movement for instruments, thereby augmenting the precision and flexibility of the surgery. The superiority of UBE-TLIF lies in its capacity to facilitate rapid postoperative recovery with minimal trauma, reduced intraoperative bleeding, abbreviated hospital stays, and significant amelioration of postoperative lower back pain. Comparatively, UBE-TLIF demonstrates equivalent fusion rates and clinical outcomes to traditional open surgeries while also increasing patient satisfaction.",
