Minimally invasive fully endoscopic two-level posterior cervical foraminotomy: technical note.
Posterior cervical foraminotomy is an effective surgical treatment method for relieving radicular symptoms that result from cervical nerve root compression. Minimally invasive techniques and tubular retractor systems are available to minimize tissue retraction, but minimally invasive approaches can carry with them the surgical challenge of trying to pass instruments through a long narrow retrac...
متن کاملPreservation of Motion at the Surgical Level after Minimally Invasive Posterior Cervical Foraminotomy
OBJECTIVE Although minimally invasive posterior cervical foraminotomy (MI-PCF) is an established approach for motion preservation, the outcomes are variable among patients. The objective of this study was to identify significant factors that influence motion preservation after MI-PCF. METHODS Forty-eight patients who had undergone MI-PCF between 2004 and 2012 on a total of 70 levels were stud...
متن کاملMinimally invasive posterior cervical decompression using tubular retractor: The technical note and early clinical outcome
BACKGROUND The aim of this work is to present a novel decompression technique that approaches cervical spine posteriorly, but through minimal invasive method using tubular retractor avoiding detachment of posterior musculature. METHODS Six patients underwent minimally invasive posterior cervical decompression using the tubular retractor system and surgical microscope. Minimally invasive acces...
متن کاملLong-Term Clinical and Radiologic Outcomes of Minimally Invasive Posterior Cervical Foraminotomy
OBJECTIVE To report long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of minimally invasive posterior cervical foraminotomy (MI-PCF) performed in patients with unilateral single-level cervical radiculopathy. METHODS Of forty-six patients who underwent MI-PCF for unilateral single-level radiculopathy between 2005 and 2013, 33 patients were included in the study, with a mean follow-up of 32.7 months...
متن کاملMini 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...
