To introduce the surgical technique of percutaneous posterior foraminal resection of cervical disc herniation in our hospital and the clinical results of 1 case.[Methods] Imaging diagnosis was C6-7 disc herniation and compression of left nerve root and dural sac. After adequate preoperative preparation, posterior foraminal resection of cervical disc herniation was performed.[Results] The prolapsed nucleus pulposus tissue was removed successfully, and the pain and numbness symptoms of the patient's neck and shoulder were improved on the first day after surgery, and the surgical incision healed well. One week later, the range of motion of the cervical spine and the function of the vertebral body were restored, and the pain and numbness symptoms completely disappeared.[Conclusion] Nucleus pulposus excision by posterior percutaneous foraminal approach in the treatment of cervical disc herniation has good clinical effect and prognosis.
