Unilateral biportal lumbar endoscopic interbody fusion is a relatively new technique in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery. It combines the benefits of preservation of the normal anatomy of the spine with direct visualization of the decompression of neural elements and endplate preparation for fusion. This results in high union rates and excellent outcomes for patients with back pain and lumbar spinal stenosis from spondylolisthesis while reducing the risk of injuries to the neural elements, endplate fractures and the theoretical rate of adjacent segment disease from disruption of the musculature. In this paper, we describe the steps and technical pearls pertaining to this technique and methods to avoid common pitfalls and complications. In conclusion, this technique would be a good tool in the armamentarium of a spinal surgeon specializing in minimally invasive spinal surgery.
