Posterior endoscopic cervical discectomy (PECD) offers a safe and effective minimally invasive option for cervical radiculopathy. This technique shows comparable outcomes to traditional surgeries, making it ideal for specific disc herniations and stenosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Background:

  • Endoscopic spine surgery has advanced significantly for degenerative spinal conditions.
  • Posterior endoscopic cervical discectomy (PECD) is a minimally invasive technique for cervical radiculopathy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the technical details and evidence-based outcomes of PECD.
  • To highlight PECD as a promising treatment for cervical radiculopathy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on PECD.
  • Focus on technical aspects and clinical results.
  • Emphasis on the role of intraoperative 3D navigation.

Main Results:

  • PECD is validated as safe and effective, with outcomes comparable to open/microscopic surgery.
