OBJECTIVE: To review the application status, clinical advantages, and complications of unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) technique and explore its future development direction. METHODS: By reviewing recent domestic and international literature, the evolution history of UBE technique, its surgical advantages, and its application effectiveness in various spinal diseases were analyzed, providing a comprehensive review. RESULTS: UBE technique, with its unique dual-channel design, provides a clearer surgical field and more flexible operating space, significantly reduces surgical trauma and postoperative recovery time. UBE technique has demonstrated high safety and effectiveness in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation, spinal stenosis, lumbar instability, and cervical spondylosis. Additionally, the complication incidence of UBE surgery is lower than that of traditional open surgery. CONCLUSION In recent years, UBE technique has shown good clinical application prospects and efficacy, but further technical optimization and large-scale clinical research are still needed to ensure the safety and effectiveness. In the future, the combination of UBE technique and intelligent medical and surgical robotics technology is expected to promote the further development of spinal surgery.

Accompanied by changes in modern work and lifestyle, the incidence of cervical spondylosis has increased year by year. In view of the fact long-term fixed posture of the head and neck is one of the main causes of cervical spondylosis, a set of wearable cervical spondylosis prevention system is developed. The system comprises a head and neck movement collection module based on the acceleration sensor and a head and neck motion recognition module based on artificial intelligence. Experimental results showed that the system can accurately identify long-term posture of the head and neck, and guide users to complete effective exercise therapy under the supervision of motion recognition module. Using this system can be beneficial for the prevention of cervical spondylosis.
