Abstract：The technique of unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression(ULBD)is a minimally invasive tech-nique widely used in clinical practice in recent years.It has unique advantages in treating degenerative diseases such as lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation.Nevertheless,research reports on this technique in China are relatively scarce com-pared to those abroad.The most significant difference compared to previous intervertebral foramen endoscopic techniques is that a unilateral approach from the back of the vertebral body is used to achieve complete decompression of the dural sac,fully preserving the stability of the patient's spine after surgery,reducing postoperative complications,reducing intraoperative bleed-ing,and accelerating postoperative health.Its significant advantages have attracted widespread attention from many spinal sur-geons,leading to further research and clinical application of this technology.The purpose of this article is to summarize the clinical application process of The technique of unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression.It is descovered that this technology is not limited to the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases,but can also be applied to cervical and thoracic de-generative diseases.However,there are still a few postoperative complications,and further improvement is required doing bet-ter clinical efficacy.
