Tong Y, Huang Z, Hu C, et al. - This study was carried out to present the necessity of excision of ventral osteophytes and hyperplastic ligaments in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) caused by cervical foraminal and/or lateral spinal stenosis (CFa/oLSS). A retrospective study was performed to include a total of 46 patients with CSR caused by CFa/oLSS from January 2017 to November 2018 to receive posterior percutaneous endoscopic cervical decompression-ventral bony decompression (PPECD-VBD)(23 cases, classified as VBD group) or posterior percutaneous endoscopic cervical decompression-simple dorsal decompression (PPECD-SDD)(23 cases, classified as SDD group). Following surgery, Visual Analogue Scale, Neck Disable Index, Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scores and myodynamia were recorded. Researchers further assessed the variations of cervical curvature and cervical spine motion in the VBD group and operation time and complications were noted during the follow-up of each patient. The outcomes exhibit that PPECD-VBD was significantly better in comparison with PPECD-SDD as well as PPECD-VBD had no significant impacts on cervical spine stability or cervical curvature.
