Comparative Evaluation of Posterior Percutaneous Endoscopic Cervical Discectomy Using 3.7mm Endoscopic and 6.9mm Endoscopic for Cervical Disc Herniation: a retrospective comparative cohort study.
Abstract:Background. Posterior percutaneous endoscopic cervical discectomy (p-PECD) is an effective strategy for cervical diseases which working cannula ranges from 3.7 mm to 6.9 mm. However, no studies were performed to compare the clinical outcomes of endoscopes with different diameters in cervical disc herniation (CDH) patients. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of unilateral CDH patients treated with p-PECD applying the 3.7mm endoscopic with those treated with the 6.9mm endoscopic.
