I am seeking clarification on treatment options for a slipped disc at the C5 and C6 levels of the cervical spine. Specifically, I would like to know if UBE (Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy) surgery is a viable treatment option for this condition. Additionally, I would appreciate information on whether posterior cervical foraminoplasty could be considered as an alternative to the more conventional anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for addressing the slipped disc at this section of the spine.Could you kindly confirm whether there are any orthopaedic specialists at your facility who are experienced in performing UBE surgery or posterior cervical foraminoplasty for cervical slipped disc?

Answer:

Thank you for your inquiry. As I do not perform spine surgery, I am unable to provide specific guidance on whether UBE is a suitable treatment option. I recommend consulting with Dr. Gee, our in-house neurosurgeon, for expert advice. It is essential to seek a thorough evaluation from a specialist, such as a neurosurgeon or orthopedic spine surgeon, who can provide personalized recommendations based on your specific circumstances.
