AI Article Synopsis

  • - Anterior cervical foraminotomy is a surgical technique that aims to relieve nerve root pressure while preserving the movement of the spine and minimizing bone removal.
  • - Balancing the need to preserve spinal motion and maximize nerve decompression requires a high level of skill and expertise in the procedure.
  • - A strong understanding of anatomy and the ability to navigate a limited surgical space are critical for successfully accessing nerve roots during surgery.

Article Abstract

Anterior cervical foraminotomy is a motion-preserving and precise decompressing surgery with minimal bone removal. As preserving the motion segment and maximizing decompression are contradictory concepts, proficiency is needed to balance these requirements. Anatomical knowledge and good intraoperative orientation are essential to reach the nerve roots accurately in a narrow surgical field.
