Procedure

Este es un abordaje eficaz para tratar todo tipo de hernias discales torácicas, minimizando significativamente los daños colaterales, la pérdida de sangre, el dolor posoperatorio y la manipulación de la médula espinal.1-4 Este es el único abordaje que ofrece una vista sin obstrucciones del canal torácico ventral sin una resección ósea extensa ni necesidad de acceder a la cavidad torácica.

Discectomía endoscópica torácica transforaminal

The traditional open approach for treating far lateral disc herniations at L5-S1 is challenging. Alternatively, the transforaminal endoscopic approach lands directly at the far lateral zone and requires little or no facet resection to achieve decompression.

Endoscopic Far Lateral Transforaminal Lumbar Discectomy 

Minimally invasive endoscopic cervical foraminotomy and decompression is designed to treat cervical radiculopathy and other conditions that compress the nerve root. Utilizing an endoscope, surgeons can directly visualize and remove compressive pathology such as disc herniations, osteophytes, and hypertrophic ligaments. This technique minimizes soft-tissue disruption, reduces blood loss, allows for quicker recovery, and has demonstrated high clinical success rates, with a systematic review reporting 91.3% overall and up to 94.2% for posterior approaches.1,2 Additionally, long-term follow-ups show lasting symptom relief, high patient satisfaction, and a lower risk of adjacent segment disease compared to traditional ACDF surgery.3
Potential applications include treatment of cervical radiculopathy, herniated cervical discs, cervical spondylosis, foraminal stenosis, and osteophytes (bone spurs). Research supports its effectiveness in treating both soft disc herniations, where the nucleus pulposus compresses the nerve root, and hard disc herniations caused by calcified disc material.4 A lower incidence of spinal instability has also been reported, suggesting a reduced need for future spinal fusion procedures.5
Careful patient selection is key to optimal surgical outcomes; those with major deformity, instability, or large central herniations may require alternative surgery. With proper selection and advancing technology, this method remains a safe, effective, and motion-preserving option for cervical nerve decompression.1
