Surgical decompression for cervical radiculopathy includes anterior cervical discectomyand fusion, anterior or posterior cervical foraminotomy, and cervical arthroplastyafter decompression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of aCO2 laser in posterior-approach surgery for unilateral cervical radiculopathy. FromJanuary 2006 to December 2008, 12 consecutive patients with unilateral cervical radiculopathyfrom either foraminal stenosis or disc herniation, which was confirmed withimaging studies, underwent posterior foraminotomy and discectomy with the use ofa microscope and CO2 laser. For annulotomy and discectomy, we used about 300 joulesof CO2 laser energy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to evaluate the extentof disc removal or foraminal decompression. Clinical outcome was evaluated by usingvisual analogue scale scores for radicular pain and Odom’s criteria. For evaluation ofspinal stability, cervical flexion and extension radiographs were obtained. Single-levelforaminotomy was performed in 10 patients and two-level foraminotomies were performedin 2 patients. Preoperative radicular symptoms were improved immediatelyafter surgery in all patients. No surgery-related complications developed in our cases. Postoperative MRI demonstrated effective decompression of ventral lesions and widenedforaminal spaces in all cases. There was no development of cervical instabilityduring the follow-up period. Posterior foraminotomy and discectomy using a microscopeand CO2 laser is an effective surgical tool for unilateral cervical radiculopathycaused by lateral or foraminal disc herniations or spondylotic stenosis. Long-term follow-up with radiographs showed no significant kyphotic changes or spinal instability.
