Clinical outcomes of navigation-assisted versus fluoroscopy-guided UBE-ULBD in single-level lumbar spinal stenosis: a retrospective study

Key Points

• Navigation-assisted UBE-ULBD improves surgical efficiency with less radiation exposure for surgeons,
• findings demonstrate comparable safety and clinical efficacy to conventional fluoroscopy-guided procedures.
• Retrospective study compared techniques for minimally invasive decompression in lumbar spinal stenosis.
• These results highlight navigation-assisted approaches as a safer alternative for surgical practice.
