Cervical disc herniation is normally treated from the front side where the entire intervertebral disc is removed and the gap is filled with bone grafts. A metal plate is fixed with screws to stabilise the spine.
Posterior cervical foramintomy allows us to remove the herniated disc material and decompress the spinal nerve without fusion
Endoscopic approach through an 8 mm incision ( less than one cm) minimises bony and soft tissue trauma and allows early return to normal work
