A novel posterior transpedicular approach using endoscopy effectively treats cervical myelopathy, significantly reducing pain and improving neurological function. This minimally invasive technique offers a safe and viable alternative for select patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
  • Spinal Endoscopy

Background:

  • Standard posterior percutaneous endoscopic cervical discectomy (PECD) is effective for radiculopathy but challenging for myelopathy.
  • Myelopathy treatment often requires more invasive procedures, posing risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate a posterior transpedicular endoscopic approach for cervical myelopathy.
  • To assess the feasibility and short-term clinical outcomes of this novel technique.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 16 patients with single-segment cervical myelopathy treated with posterior transpedicular PECD.
  • Endoscopic drilling of the pedicle for spinal canal access, followed by ventral decompression.
  • Evaluation using CT, MRI, VAS for pain, and JOA scores for neurological function.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvement in VAS pain scores (6.94 to 2.88) and JOA neurological scores (8.50 to 14.50).
  • Excellent or good outcomes in 14 out of 16 patients.
  • No surgery-related complications, with good pedicle recovery at 1-year follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • The posterior transpedicular approach is a safe and effective endoscopic method for treating select cervical myelopathy patients.
  • This technique serves as a valuable adjunct to existing surgical options for PECD.
