Posterior endoscopic cervical foramiotomy and discectomy: Clinical and radiological computer tomography evaluation on the bony effect of decompression with 2 years follow-up

European Spine Journal Oct 22, 2020

Wu PH, Kim HS, Lee YJ, et al. - In this study, the radiological and clinical outcomes of posterior endoscopic cervical foraminotomy and discectomy were explored. Researchers performed a prospective clinical and radiological study with retrospective evaluation for 25 individuals with 29 levels of cervical radiculopathy who had undergone posterior endoscopic cervical discectomy from November 2016 to December 2018. They assessed clinical outcomes of the Visual Analogue Scale, Neck Disability Index, and MacNab’s score at pre-operative, post-operative 1 week, 3 months, and final follow-up. In the analysis, 29 levels of cervical radiculopathy had undergone posterior endoscopic cervical decompression. In the treatment of cervical radiculopathy, the uniportal posterior endoscopic cervical foraminotomy and discectomy was found to be a safe, efficient, and precisely choreographed set of techniques. In the cohort of patients, it significantly improved clinical outcomes and achieved the objective of increasing the cervical foramen size.
