Unilateral biportal endoscopic with modified arcocristectomy for pinching cervical spondylotic myelopathy: surgical technique and early experiences
The innovation of the modified Arcocristectomy surgery under cervical UBE for treating pinching cervical spondylotic myelopathy lies in the extended resection of the posterior-superior margin of the lamina. This modification effectively alleviates spinal cord compression caused by the "pinching effect" during cervical extension. Short-term follow-up results demonstrate significant clinical improvements, offering a new minimally invasive treatment option for this condition.
