Retrospective study evaluates safety and efficacy of a minimally invasive technique for cervical stenosis, suggesting positive outcomes.

Evaluate the efficacy and safety of uniportal interlaminar endoscopic posterior cervical decompression in cervical spinal canal stenosis patients after 12 months.
Retrospective study at a specialized orthopedic center.
Involved 45 patients undergoing posterior cervical decompression from 2020 to 2025.
Assessments included preoperative imaging, VAS, and NDI at 12-month follow-up.
Mean VAS score reduced from 7.4 to 1.5 at 12 months (p<0.001).
Mean NDI score improved from 38.6 to 9.4 (p<0.001).
One case of recurrent stenosis occurred at the C5-C6 level.
