Abstract Summary

Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery for multilevel cervical spinal stenosis shows promising results compared to traditional open surgery. In a study of 36 patients, the endoscopic approach reduced operative time, blood loss, and hospital stays while improving pain scores and neck function. The technique maintains cervical stability with smaller incisions and faster recovery.

Why Brain? 🧠

Minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery shows superior outcomes for multilevel cervical stenosis versus open surgery, with faster recovery, less blood loss, and better stability.
