Core Tip

Core Tip: We report a case of multiple-segment lumbar decompression and fusion surgery for lumbar disc herniation via robot-assisted unilateral biportal endoscopy and review the literature. This report provides a reference for spine surgeons to use several advanced technologies for smarter and less invasive treatment and offers new ideas and strategies for the development of digital orthopedics and minimally invasive endoscopy.
