DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.04.090
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Cervical radiculopathy infrequently presents with motor weakness. Motor weakness was improved in >90% of patients after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion or posterior cervical foraminotomy. Posterior percutaneous endoscopic cervical foraminotomy and discectomy (PECF) is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.09.049
Abstract: BACKGROUND Microscopic anterior cervical foraminotomy (MACF) is a surgical technique for unilateral cervical radiculopathy that preserves segmental motion and avoids adjacent segmental degeneration, but little is known of its long-term outcomes. METHODS A retrospective minimum… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2022/5873333
Abstract: Objective Cervical osseous foraminal stenosis (COFS) results from the uncinate process and facet hyperostosis. Currently, the optimal surgical technique for the treatment of COFS remains controversial. Materials and Methods Patients with COFS presenting radiculopathy underwent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0281926
Abstract: Objective Posterior full-endoscopic cervical foraminotomy (PECF) is one of minimally invasive surgical techniques for cervical radiculopathy. Because of minimal disruption of posterior cervical structures, such as facet joint, cervical kinematics was minimally changed. However, a… read more here.

DOI: 10.4055/cios22050
Abstract: Background The biportal endoscopic technique (BE) is a fast-growing surgical modality that can be applied to posterior cervical foraminotomy (PCF), as well as lumbar discectomy and decompressive laminectomy. It has several technical differences from the… read more here.
