Uniportal, Full Endoscopic Foraminotomy as Treatment of Cervical Radiculopathy in Horses

Abstract

Equine cervical radiculopathy can express itself in a wide variety of symptoms. Empirically, conservative treatment has not produced consistent, lasting results. The innovative uniportal, full endoscopic surgical for aminotomy procedure, widening the Inter Vertebral Foramen (IVF), eliminates the pressure on the exiting spinal nerve. The procedure has a low complication rate and the marked advantage of limited after care and rapid return to performance.
