Cervical Endoscopy Using Transcorporeal Route
Backgrounds: The most common treatment options for foraminal disc herniation and the resulting cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) are anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), or laminoforaminotomy, which is accomplished posteriorly. However,

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) might be one of the most preferred subspecialties of spine surgeons, especially young surgeons. It stands for theoretically minimal damages to the surrounding tissues and yet maximal efficiency in handling the main lesion. The main concept of this technology should be a final object of spine surgery, because it must be a surgeons’ dream to achieve the so-called surgical success in the state of preservation of physiologic functions including spinal motion and in the state of maintaining the normal spinal architecture. Among MISS procedures, the endoscopic procedures have accounted for a considerable portion of MISS and keep expanding its portion nowadays. Endoscopy technology had continuously developed along with endoscopes and their related devices since the early 1980s, the early stage of endoscopy. By the 2000s, however, endoscopic procedures, particularly transforaminal techniques, encountered their limitations, including the removal of far- migrated disc
