Revolutionary Milestone Achieved: First UBE Endoscopic Spine Surgery in a
Day Clinic Performed by Dr. Ian Victor
Dr. Ian Victor, a neurosurgeon who specialises in minimally invasive spine surgery,
has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by successfully performing the first
Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic (UBE) spine surgery in a day clinic setting. This
achievement marks a new era in spinal surgical procedures, enhancing patient
outcomes as well surgical recovery times. The key-hole endoscopic procedure was
recently performed at the newly launched Cure Day Hospital Foreshore to treat
degenerative conditions of the lumbar spine.The minimally invasive nature of UBE
surgery results in reduced post-operative pain, faster recovery times, and a shorter
duration to return to normal activities for patients.
"By performing UBE endoscopic spine surgery in a day clinic, we are empowering
patients to reclaim their lives faster than ever before," says Dr Victor. "This approach not only enhances patient satisfaction but also represents a significant step forward in the evolution of spinal surgical care."
The successful completion of the first UBE endoscopic spine surgery in a day clinic
isa testament to Dr Victor’s commitment to advancing the field of spinal surgery and
improving patient outcomes.
