Core Tip Unilateral biportal endoscopic fusion is a promising minimally invasive technique to treat lumbar degenerative diseases. Achieving optimal long-term outcomes necessitates intelligently integrating advanced biomaterials, such as novel cages (e.g., expandable, double), optimizing grafts, refining surgical techniques, and effectively managing complications (e.g., dural tear, hematoma). This minireview highlighted recent advances in biotechnological integration for optimizing clinical results. Future directions should focus on smart materials and navigation and robotics technologies. There is a critical need for high-quality evidence, particularly randomized controlled trials, to validate these integrated strategies and define the role of unilateral biportal endoscopic fusion.
