A retrospective Chinese study on optical–electromagnetic navigation-guided biportal endoscopic unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression in lumbar spinal stenosis: improving precision and efficiency

Key Points

• The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined optical and electromagnetic navigation system in spinal surgery.
• Conducted a retrospective analysis of surgical outcomes
• Evaluated the use of biportal endoscopy for lumbar decompression
• Assessed radiation exposure and operative time
• Significantly reduced radiation exposure during surgery
• Shortened operative time, leading to increased efficiency
• Demonstrated strong clinical potential for improved surgical outcomes
