Abstract：
Endoscopic posterior cervical foraminotomy is gaining popularity among endoscopic spine surgeons for the treatment of radiculopathy caused by foraminal stenosis.
This study describes a technique using the lateral decubitus position for endoscopic posterior cervical foraminotomy under monitored anesthesia care and local anesthesia only.
A total of 10 patients with contraindications to general anesthesia underwent the procedure, resulting in improvement in cervical radicular pain with no perioperative complications.
The findings suggest that this approach is a viable alternative for patients at high risk of general anesthesia care, expanding the surgical options for the treatment of radiculopathy.

摘要：
内窥镜后路颈椎间孔切开术在内窥镜脊柱外科医生中越来越受欢迎，用于治疗由椎间孔狭窄引起的神经根病。这项研究描述了一种仅在监测麻醉护理（MAC）和局部麻醉下利用侧卧位进行内窥镜后路颈椎间孔切开术的技术。10例有全身麻醉禁忌症的患者接受了手术，改善颈根性疼痛，无围手术期并发症。研究结果表明，这种方法对于高危患者进行全身麻醉护理是一种可行的替代方法，扩大神经根病治疗的手术选择。
