Biportal endoscopic posterior cervical foraminotomy with discectomy for unilateral radicular arm pain due to cervical herniated disc

Recently, biportal endoscopic cervical approaches have been used to treat cervical degenerative disease. Biportal endoscopic posterior cervical foraminotomy with or without discectomy has the advantage of reducing damage to the normal tissues during surgery and enhancing fast recovery after surgery. The biportal endoscopic cervical approach was performed using two portals. The first portal was an endoscopic viewing portal for the spinal endoscope, and the other portal was a working portal for using surgical instruments. The author illustrates the surgical technique of biportal endoscopic posterior cervical foraminotomy with discectomy.
