Today, I want to take a few moments to showcase the incredible possibilities of endoscopic treatment for symptomatic cervical foraminal stenosis. This condition often arises due to nerve compression or pinching, caused by issues like facet joint overgrowth, uncovertebral joint enlargement, or disc herniation into the foramen.

Now, let's dive into the procedure using the Richard Wolf endoscopic cervical set. As we focus on the cervical spine, we can observe how the cervical cassettes overlap at various levels on both sides. These cervical facet joints lead into the foraminal canal, where the nerves pass through.

The first step in a cervical foraminoplasty, utilizing a 5mm scope, involves identifying the area of interest. Using a small guide pin and a cannula, we establish the initial port to reach the desired location. The arthroscope is then inserted through the cannula, providing a clear view of the surgical site.

Now, let's watch closely as we demonstrate the capabilities of the endoscope. We can pass various instruments through it to delicately work with and separate soft tissues, remove bone using a small burr, and grab and extract bone or disc fragments.

The ultimate goal is to achieve sufficient bone removal to allow a probe to freely pass through the foraminal canal, confirming successful decompression. The procedure involves instruments only about 5 or 6 millimeters in diameter, showcasing the precision and minimally invasive nature of endoscopic surgery.

It's fascinating to witness how advanced technology enables us to address cervical foraminal stenosis with such precision and efficiency. If you or anyone you know is struggling with this condition, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to provide personalized care and help you reclaim a pain-free life.
