However, the mainstream is the resection of dorsal bone and removal of free nucleus pulposus. The necessity of excision of ventral osteophytes and hyperplastic ligaments in the treatment of CSR caused by cervical foraminal and\/or lateral spinal stenosis (CFa\/oLSS) to be discussed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We performed a retrospective study of 46 patients with CSR caused by CFa\/oLSS from January 2017 to November 2018.

Following surgery, we recorded Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Neck Disable Index (NDI), Japanese\u2002Orthopaedic\u2002Association (JOA) Scores and myodynamia.

The excellent and good rates in the VBD and SDD groups were 91.29 and 60.87%, respectively.
