Gun Choi and Alfonso Garcia

Up to date the seasoned spine surgeon has many options for the treatment of Cervical Radiculopathy that range from muscle and motion preserving procedures to the well-known Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion and the Anterior Cervical Disk Replacement surgeries. We wish to present a brief review of the literature to address two minimally invasive and motion preserving techniques known as, Cervical Transcorporeal Tunnel Approach and Percutaneous Endoscopic Cervical Discectomy, respectively.
