BACKGROUND Minimally invasive techniques utilizing tubular retractors have become an
increasingly popular approach to the spinal column. The concept of a unilateral laminotomy …

Background Full-endoscopic decompression surgery has been shown to be safe and
efficacious in the lumbar spine, while its role remains to be determined in the cervical spine …

Background: Expansile laminoplasty or laminectomy is usually used to treat cervical
myelopathy attributable to canal stenosis. However, detachment of the posterior cervical …

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of posterior percutaneous endoscopic unilateral
laminotomy (PPEUL) and anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) in the …

This video demonstrates the step-by-step surgical technique for a less invasive cervical
unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression (cervical ULBD). This technique allows …

Objective Cervical endoscopic unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression (CE-
ULBD) is a promising novel surgical approach. However, to date, there is a paucity of data …

Background Unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) laminotomy with bilateral decompression
is a high-risk operation when performed in the cervical spine. In this study, we aimed to …

Background The advantages of biportal endoscopic approaches over conventional open
surgery include the preservation of the normal structures, less intraoperative bleeding, fast …

Background: The aim of this work is to present a novel decompression technique that
approaches cervical spine posteriorly, but through minimal invasive method using tubular …

Objective: Bilateral laminotomy and unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression are
becoming the minimally invasive procedures for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). With the aim …
