The minimally invasive posterior cervical foraminotomy procedure has become a common and successful procedure for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy. Specifically, the minimally invasive approach allows for decreased postoperative pain, blood loss, and length of hospitalization by preserving the surrounding soft tissue as compared with the traditional open approach. This article and accompanying video demonstrates the technique for a primary, single-level minimally invasive posterior cervical foraminotomy as performed through a tubular retractor.
微创后路颈椎椎间孔切开术已成为治疗神经根型颈椎病的一种常见且成功的手术。具体而言，与传统开放手术相比，微创方法通过保留周围软组织，可减少术后疼痛、失血和住院时间。本文及随附视频展示了通过管状牵开器进行的初次单节段微创后路颈椎椎间孔切开术的技术。
