Abstract

The focus of this newly developed surgery centers on removal of the bony spur or disc material that is pressing on the nerve root causing electric, numbing or shooting pain that often start in the neck and travel into one or both arms, through an inch long incision at the front of neck .the source of problem (the disc material or bony spur) can be clearly seen through a small hole made at the side of the intervertebral disc, and is trimmed away leaving the majority of the disc material and bone undisturbed by doing so which is less invasive method than the conventional procedure, which eventually leads to fusion of the bone, the motion segment “neck joint” is preserved. Patients are most often able to go home the day of or the day after surgery with noticeable relief from nerve pain in their arms and without neck braces or collars”.
