ESUBE 2026: A Community Shaping the Future of Biportal Endoscopy

As the European Society of Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy (ESUBE) gathered the endoscopic spine community once again from February 26–28, one theme became unmistakably clear: ESUBE is far more than a congress. It is a platform where education, technique, and clinical reality intersect — and where meaningful exchange truly happens.

A Congress That Stays With You

Some congresses inform. Some are well organized.
And some stay with you.

ESUBE 2026 was one of those rare meetings where discussions went beyond presentations. Surgeons openly shared experience, challenged ideas constructively, and pushed the field forward through genuine peer‑to‑peer dialogue.This reflects what defines the spine community at its best:

• forward‑thinking
• future‑oriented
• driven by the ambition to advance medicine and health technology in meaningful ways

The mindset behind the discussions was as impactful as the scientific content itself.

Focus on Workflows, Indications, and Education

Across three days, the conversations converged around key priorities shaping the future of biportal endoscopy:

• refining clinical and endoscopic workflows
• differentiating indications with greater precision
• strengthening structured educational pathways

These themes — present both in formal sessions and informal exchanges — highlight a shared commitment to elevating practice through clarity, collaboration, and continuous learning.

Looking Ahead: Continuing the Conversation

ESUBE is, at its core, a community effort. We value the opportunity to:

• exchange perspectives with experienced faculty
• discuss practical implementation in daily surgical routines
• contribute to the evolution of biportal endoscopy

Our sincere thanks go to the organizers, faculty, and all participants who shaped this year’s ESUBE and made it a constructive, forward‑looking forum.

We are proud to be part of this community — and we look forward to continuing these conversations in clinical practice, educational programs, and future ESUBE meetings.
