Traditional surgical approaches, including anterior decompression and posterior open surgery, have proven effective but carry risks such as vascular or nerve injuries and postoperative pain. This study evaluates a minimally invasive surgical approach called Posterior Uniportal Endoscopic Cervical Decompression as an alternative to traditional methods for patients with cervical spinal stenosis. The main objective is to assess changes in neurological deficits and disability related to cervical pain following this procedure. The study will also doc
