Posterior Cervical Foraminotomy (Microscopic/Endoscopic)

Posterior foraminotomy often uses a small incision microscopic or endoscopic approach, using a tubular channel or working cannula to expose the nerve root under image guidance, selectively removing the compressed disc tissue and a small amount of bony structure to enlarge the neural foramen. Hemostasis and nerve monitoring are performed during the operation. Postoperative attention is paid to pain, neurological signs, and the wound, with the goal of relieving pressure while preserving segmental range of motion as much as possible. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
