Kim Kyung-joon, head of the Neurosurgery Center at Himchan Hospital in Busan, shared his latest clinical experience as an invited speaker at the '2025 Joint Symposium on Orthopaedic and Neurosurgery (UNOSS)" held at Haeundae Paik Hospital's auditorium on the 22nd. The United NS-OS Spin Symposium (UNOSS) is a specialized academic symposium in the field of spine jointly participated by neurosurgery and orthopedic medical staff in Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam, and is a representative academic exchange society in the Boolean region, which is held annually centered on local university hospitals and medical hospitals.

Kim Kyung-joon, director of the center, presented the theme of 'UBE technique for lumbar interbody fusion: Early surgical results' in the first session of 'Endoscopic Spin Surgery'. The initial clinical results of spinal interbody fusion using bidirectional bifortal endoscopy (UBE) and the advantages of a minimally invasive approach were presented in actual surgical case cases.

UBE treatment has been reported to minimize tissue damage and speed recovery in various lumbar diseases such as lumbar disc, spinal canal stenosis, and spinal anterior dislocation. According to the results of the study, patients with lumbar discs showed pain relief through nerve compression removal, and in patients with spinal canal stenosis, improvement in walking ability was observed by securing nerve space with minimal incision. In addition, in patients with spinal anterior dislocation or instability, spinal interbody fusion has been confirmed to increase spinal stability and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Busan Himchan Hospital is actively performing UBE-based minimally invasive spinal surgery, and research to standardize surgery and reduce complications is also continuing. Based on many years of extensive clinical experience and know-how in minimally invasive spinal surgery, Kim Kyung-joon, the head of the center, has performed safe and precise surgery even in complex spinal diseases. Director of the Center Kim Kyung-joon said, "'We will systematically share the results of our treatment and the advantages of UBL's minimally invasive approach through external symposiums and contribute to the development of spinal surgery techniques and the improvement of medical standards in the region.'
