Abstract

We have been performing posterior microendoscopic foraminotomy for cervical radiculopathy since October 2005.
Six patients were selected for this surgical technique. They consisted of four men and two women who ranged in age from 38 to 54 years (mean 47.6). Three cases hau cervical disc herniations and three cases spondylotic foraminal stenosis caused by unilateral radiculopathy. We performed foraminal decompression and removed herniated disc for herniation.
We studied the operation time, intraoperative hemorrhage, period to discharge after operation, complications and Tanaka's score for cervical radiculopathy.
We report that posterior microendoscopic foraminotomy is an effective alternative for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy.
