Effect of Irrigation Pressure on Postoperative Complications and Surgical Field Clarity in Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Surgery

This study looks at how the flow of cleansing fluid used during minimally invasive back surgery affects your view, bleeding, and recovery. By testing different fluid heights and surgical cuts, doctors hope to make this common spine procedure safer and more effective for future patients.

You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 74 years old and scheduled for a specific type of minimally invasive back surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University. Participants must also be willing to attend follow-up visits for at least six months and have complete medical records.

During your scheduled back surgery, doctors will randomly place you into one of four groups that use different fluid bag heights or cut directions to measure pressure and visibility. After the procedure, your surgical team will track your pain and recovery progress for six months and analyze removed disc tissue.

The study is currently recruiting patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University in Kunming, Yunnan, China.
