Outcomes of Discectomy by Using Full-Endoscopic Visualization Technique via the Transcorporeal and Transdiscal Approaches in the Treatment of Cervical Intervertebral Disc Herniation: A Comparative Study

<div>(a) T2-weighted sagittal magnetic resonance image (MRI) shows a central herniated disc behind the C5 vertebral body. (b) The axial MRI scan shows the herniated disc compresses the spinal cord and migrated downward. (c) Axial MRI after ATc-PECD (note the drilling tunnel in the C4 vertebral body). (d) Sagittal MRI after ATc-PECD shows a removal of the protruded nucleus pulposus.</div>
