Many struggle with claudication, leg pain, cramp or numbness when walking — often caused by lumbar spinal stenosis.

At ThaiSMISST 2025, I had the chance to share one of the most important updates in EndoSpine surgery:
➡️ “Decompression Beyond En-Bloc Flavectomy” — a key technique for achieving a more complete and effective nerve release.

Today, we are able to do this through a tiny keyhole (EndoSpine / UBE) with:
✨ Minimal muscle damage
✨ Small 1 cm incisions
✨ Faster recovery
✨ Less pain
✨ Earlier return to daily activities

For patients who have been suffering for months or years, a proper and thorough decompression can truly change quality of life.

I’m sharing some photos and a short video from my talk —
If you know someone with back pain, leg pain, or difficulty walking, feel free to share this post.
Your share might help them find the right solution. 🙏💙

If you have questions about spinal stenosis or EndoSpine options, you’re welcome to message me anytime.

🧠✨ Advanced Spine Surgery with UBE (Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy) ✨🧠

A 72-year-old patient came to us with back pain, leg pain, numbness, and difficulty walking or standing upright.
MRI revealed a lumbar cyst compressing the nerves.

Using the latest minimally invasive technique – UBE (Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy), we successfully performed total cyst removal.
The compressed nerve was freed, showing the reassuring pulsatile sign of adequate decompression.

Through this keyhole approach:
✅ Smaller incision, less tissue damage
✅ Faster recovery, less pain
✅ Effective relief of nerve compression

Grateful to be able to bring the most advanced spine surgery techniques to patients here, helping them regain mobility and quality of life. 🙏💪
