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...

Congenital Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) defined first by Dr. Sarpyener in 1940’s17, and degenerative LSS was defined by Verbiest in 1950’s.19 Degenerative LSS can be classified as simple or complex LSS, depending on the presence or absence of attendant pathologies. LSS can also be classified on axial plane as central, lateral, or foraminal. LSS may result inneurogenic claucation or radiculopath...
متن کاملContralateral facet-sparing sublaminar endoscopic foraminotomy for the treatment of lumbar lateral recess stenosis: technical note.
Lumbar lateral recess stenosis that results from a degenerative bulging of the disc and overgrowth of the facet is a very common cause for lumbar radiculopathy in the elderly. The standard surgical treatment for symptomatic lumbar lateral recess stenosis often requires a laminectomy or hemi-laminectomy and medial facetectomy which can further destabilize a pathological motion segment. The autho...
متن کاملTransforaminal endoscopic treatment of lumbar radiculopathy after instrumented lumbar spine fusion.
BACKGROUND Transforaminal endoscopic discectomy and foraminotomy is a well-described minimally invasive technique for surgically treating lumbar radiculopathy caused by a herniated disc and foraminal narrowing. OBJECTIVE To describe the technique and feasibility of transforaminal foraminoplasty for the treatment of lumbar radiculopathy in patients who have already undergone instrumented spina...
متن کاملRadiographic Assessment on Magnetic Resonance Imaging after Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Foraminotomy
Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar foraminotomy (ELF) is a novel minimally invasive technique used to treat lumbar foraminal stenosis. However, the validity of foraminal decompression based on quantitative assessment using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has not yet been established. The objective of this study was to investigate the radiographic efficiency of ELF using MRI. Radiographic changes o...
