Abstract
Cervical disc herniations are common disease encountered by spine surgeon. dISCESCTOMY and fusion have been long regarded as glod standard but non fusion options are gaining ground for speciifc indications. If the pathology is limited to one or two levels in the absence of instability, a limited posterior cervical foraminotomy (PCF) can be useful in decompressing the nerve roots to achieve clinical improvement in radiculopathy. A multilevel pathology with cord compression in the absence of instability can be treated effectively with a skip cervical laminectomy or a laminoplasty. In the presence of instability in two or single level pathology, where in the past a fusion would have been considered a gold standard, non-fusion options such as cervical disc arthroplasty have evolved (ACDR).
Keywords: Cervical dis herniation, foraminotomy, laminectomy, laminoplasty, cervical disc arthroplasty
