C7-T1 Full-Endoscopic Posterior Foraminotomy and Sequestrectomy Using Navigation.

ABSTRACT: The main objective of this case and video is to demonstrate the surgical technique of navigated full-endoscopic decompression and sequestrectomy at the C7-T1 level to alleviate C8 nerve root compression and manage cervicobrachialgia. Cervicobrachialgia resulting from C7-T1 disc herniation is a quite rare yet painful condition that can significantly impair motor function in the upper limb. Traditionally, open surgeries can be invasive, with prolonged recovery times and/or fusion of the level with adjacent segment disease. Posterior full-endoscopic approach offers a minimally invasive alternative that allows for quicker recovery, less postoperative pain, and improved outcomes. By preserving motion, it also prevents adjacent segment disease. A 72-year-old female presented with sudden-onset ce
