Surgical live broadcast, the mirror shines.

In this surgical live broadcast, Professor Chu Lei demonstrates LUSTA large channel endoscopic fusion surgery and unilateral dual-channel endoscopic fusion surgery. During the surgery, SPINENDOS, Donghong Zhiyuan, and Dabo Medical's related spinal minimally invasive products were used to efficiently complete the lumbar fusion surgery under full endoscopy. The SPINENDOS company's LUSTA large channel spinal endoscope system features minimally invasive, small trauma, and low bleeding, while causing minimal damage to the facet joints, effectively maintaining the stability of lumbar motion segments. The endoscopic view is clear, easy to control bleeding, and the neural structures are easy to identify, which can reduce the risk of iatrogenic damage to neural tissues. It can also assist in endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion surgery (PE-PLIF/PE-TLIF), and the corresponding black gold bone biting forceps series has German patent technology, innovative aviation material coating, super hardness, excellent biting and cutting ability, and strong service life, suitable for multi-angle tools under large channel endoscopy for lumbar spinal stenosis, quickly decompressing and forming a working channel, effectively improving surgical efficiency.
UBE surgery has the flexibility of open surgery, with less bleeding, less fluoroscopy, a short learning curve, and can be fully visualized during the implantation of the fusion device. Donghong Zhiyuan's UBE tools are complete, with multiple models of multi-angle bone knives and long biting forceps, which can effectively improve surgical efficiency and safety.
