Abstract
Cervical laminoforaminotomy (CLF) provides a safe and effective decompression procedure of nerve roots while maintaining cervical mobility and preserving stability. However, this unique technique requires appropriate patient selection and the technical ability of the surgeon to produce an excellent outcome. Furthermore, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been accepted as the "gold standard" procedure in managing cervical radiculopathy, despite posing the risk of anterior structure injuries and fusion. Here we report a case report of the surgical management of unilateral cervical radiculopathy using the CLF technique.
