Minimally Invasive versus Open Cervical Foraminotomy: A Systematic Review
Posterior cervical laminoforaminotomy is an effective treatment for cervical radiculopathy due to disc herniations or spondylosis. Over the last decade, minimally invasive (i.e., percutaneous) procedures have become increasingly popular due to a smaller incision size and presumed benefits in postoperative outcomes. We performed a systematic review of the literature and identified studies of ope...
متن کاملMinimally invasive cervical spine foraminotomy and lateral mass screw placement.
STUDY DESIGN This technique article describes accomplishing multilevel posterior cervical decompression and lateral mass screw placement through a tubular retraction system. OBJECTIVE Multilevel foraminotomy and instrumented fusion using lateral mass screw fixation can be achieved through a minimally invasive technique using specialized retractors and intraoperative fluoroscopic imaging. SU...
متن کاملMinimally Invasive Foraminotomy of the Cervical Spine: Improving Technique and Expanding Indications
T rise of minimally invasive techniques has returned the posterior cervical foraminotomy to the armamentarium of the spine surgeon. The morbidity associated with a midline exposure, especially with the complex insertion patterns of the posterior cervical musculature, has been difficult to reconcile with the well-tolerated anterior cervical approach. However, the development of minimally invasiv...
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 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...
