Y-Style Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Far-Lateral Approach for L5S1 Foraminal Stenosis
The Y-style-UBEFLA technique offers improved surgical access to the L5S1FSwhile enhancing preservation of spinal structures. It effectively addresses the anatomical challenges posed by high iliac crests, providing superior clinical outcomes and better facet preservation. The Y-Style-UBEFLA represents a viable alternative to C-UBEFLA for managing L5S1FS, especially in high iliac crest patients.
