Core Tip
Core Tip: This study proposed a hybrid technique (HT) that utilizes spine endoscopy in unilateral biportal endoscopy to obtain another working channel to treat the cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. The HT has the advantage of double working channels to facilitate decompression and hemostasis, improving the surgical efficiency and clinical outcomes.
