Mini Open Foraminotomy (MOF) for Cervical Radiculopathy: Technical Note
Background: Favorable surgical results had been reported in cervical posterior foraminotomy using endoscopy; however, the learning curve for the surgeon is steep. We therefore developed a procedure that can be performed more easily and with small incision, called “Mini Open Foraminotomy (MOF)”, using a tubular retractor (22mm diameter) under direct vision. The purpose of this study was to demon...
متن کاملPosterior Cervical Microscopic Foraminotomy and Discectomy with Laser for Unilateral Radiculopathy
Surgical decompression for cervical radiculopathy includes anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, anterior or posterior cervical foraminotomy, and cervical arthroplasty after decompression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of a CO2 laser in posterior-approach surgery for unilateral cervical radiculopathy. From January 2006 to December 2008, 12 consecutive patients with uni...
متن کاملMini Open Foraminotomy for Cervical Radiculopathy: A Comparison of Large Tubular and TrimLine Retractors
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. PURPOSE A comparison of mini open foraminotomy (MOF) for cervical radiculopathy using either large tubular (LT) or TrimLine (TL) retractors. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Posterior foraminotomy relieves compression of the cervical nerve root in radiculopathy patients. However, invasion of the paravertebral muscle may cause major problems in these patients. ...
متن کاملCervical Cord Decompression Using Extended Anterior Cervical Foraminotomy Technique
OBJECTIVE At present, gold-standard technique of cervical cord decompression is surgical decompression and fusion. But, many complications related cervical fusion have been reported. We adopted an extended anterior cervical foraminotomy (EACF) technique to decompress the anterolateral portion of cervical cord and report clinical results and effectiveness of this procedure. METHODS Fifty-three...

Cervical anterior foraminotomy (AF) is an anterior surgical technique for the cervical spine aimed to decompress intervertebral foramen and lateral side of the spinal canal. This technique aims to remove the offending lesion, either a disc fragment or osteophyte compressing the neural structures, via a bony window at the uncovertebral area; while preserving the structure and functions of the in...
