Clinical outcomes were assessed using the visual analog scale for back pain and leg pain as well as the Oswestry Disability Index. Radiological outcomes included disc height, disc height loss, cage migration, maximal cage penetration depth, cage subsidence, and Bridwell grading.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean age of the study population was 57.8\u2009\u00b1\u20099.5 years. The operated level was L4\/5 in nine patients and L5\/S1 in nine patients. The mean operative time was 146.4\u2009\u00b1\u200926.2 min, and mean blood loss was 87.8\u2009\u00b1\u200920.7\u2005mL. Visual analog scale scores for back pain and leg pain as well as the Oswestry Disability Index scores improved postoperatively and were maintained at 12 months. Mean disc height increased from 11.4\u2009\u00b1\u20092.0\u2005mm preoperatively to 14.4\u2009\u00b1\u20091.9\u2005mm on postoperative day 3 and was 13.6\u2009\u00b1\u20091.9\u2005mm at 6 months. Radiological measurements at 12 months postoperatively were available for 13 patients, with a mean disc height of 13.3\u2009\u00b1\u20092.0\u2005mm. Cage subsidence &gt;2\u2005mm occurred in three patients (16.7%) at 6 months and two of the 13 patients (15.4%) at 12 months. Cage migration &gt;3\u2005mm occurred in one patient at both 6 months and 12 months. No screw loosening, screw breakage, or neurological deterioration occurred, and no patient required revision surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Unilateral uniportal endoscopy with unilateral screw fixation may be feasible for carefully selected patients with single-level lumbar degenerative disease.
