Unilateral biportal endoscopic foraminotomy and diskectomy combined with piezosurgery for treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy with neuropathic radicular pain

Objective:
Unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) represents a relatively recent
development in minimally invasive spine surgery. This study aimed to evaluate
the ecacy and safety of UBE foraminotomy and diskectomy combined
with piezosurgery for treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) with
neuropathic radicular pain.

Learning Curve and Clinical Outcomes of Ultrasonic Osteotome-based En Bloc Laminectomy for Thoracic Ossification of the Ligamentum Flavum

Objective:
Despite rapid advances in minimally invasive surgery, en bloc laminectomy remains the most common surgical approach for treating thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (TOLF). However, the learning curve of this
risky operation is rarely reported. Therefore, we aimed to describe and analyze the learning curve of ultrasonic
osteotome-based en bloc laminectomy for TOLF.

Use of Ultrasonic Device in Cervical and Thoracic Laminectomy: a Retrospective Comparative Study and Technical Note

Multilevel severe compressive myelopathy is a challenging disorder for the surgeons, the aim of this
study is to assess the efcacy and safety of a newly designed ultrasonic burr as an assistant tool to
the ultrasonic scalpel in laminectomy for this disease.
