Objective The purpose of this article was to systematically review the clinical outcomes of microendoscopic foraminotomy compared with the traditional open cervical foraminotomy. Methods A literature search of two databases was performed to identify investigations performed in the treatment of cervical foraminotomy with microsurgery or an open approach. Data including blood loss, surgical time, hospital stay, complications, clinical success rate, reduction of arm and neck pain, improvement of neurological function, and repeated surgery rate were summarized, calculated and compared. Results of clinical success were performed by calculattng effect indicators and standard errors based on a single rate to assess heterogeneity in the two groups.

“…Although various surgical techniques may be used, the main concept is formation of a direct path to the pathology around the posterior UP. With the classic transuncal AMF procedure, most authors have reported favorable outcomes in 91-99% of patients1,5,7,8,11). Various modified AMF procedures have shown favorable outcomes in 91-100% of patients2,3,9,13,17,21).…”

“…In 1996, Jho7) described a transuncal approach to AMF, performed through the uncinate process (UP) to preserve the remaining disc. Since then, many authors have reported favorable clinical outcomes of AMF or similar procedures1,2,3,5,8,9,11,13,17,21). and only several authors have described about radiologic outcomes of AMF, including the appearance of instability, static deformity, and a decrease in disc height, although the follow-up period have been relatively short1,5).…”

ObjectiveTo prove the extents and details of cervical degeneration after anterior microforaminotomy (AMF) with 6-years follow-up.MethodsA retrospective study of 24 patients, underwent single-level AMF, was performed. Clinical and radiologic data were analyzed with office charts, questionaires, and picture achieving and communication system images.ResultsAccording to Odom's criteria, 91.6% achieved favorable outcome. The mean visual analog scale score was improved from 8.6 to 3, and the mean neck disability index was improved from 27.9 to 7.3 (p<0.01). Eighteen cases (75%) showed disc height (DH) decrease. The disc invasion was correlated with DH decrease (p<0.05). The disc height decrease correlated with static, dynamic changes of shell angle and spur formation (p<0.05). Any radiological parameters did not affect the clinical outcome.ConclusionAMF is an effective technique for treating unilateral cervical radiculopathy. It showed excellent surgical outcomes even in long-term follow-ups. However, a decrease in DH occurred in a considerable number of patients. Disc invasion during surgery may be the trigger of sequential degeneration.

[17][18][19] Sampath ve arkadaşları [20] , servikal radikülopati-si olan hastaların tedavi sonuçlarının değerlendiren çok merkezli ileriye dönük bir çalışmanın sonuçlarını yayımlamışlardır. Cerrahi tedavi seçenekleri olarak; anterior servikal diskektomi (AD), füzyonlu anterior servikal diskektomi (FAD) ve foraminotomi (F) uygulanmıştır.…”
