Percutaneous Endoscopic Cervical Discectomy (PECD) has evolved as an efficient and minimally invasive procedure for both contained and non-contained cervical disc herniations in the recent years. With the advent of new working channel endoscopes and instruments design, the PECD is gaining popularity among spine surgeons and is becoming an alternative to the fusion surgery. The insertion of the working channel is the key to PECD which has to be placed very meticulously without injuring the vital structure in the neck anteriorly. We wish to present a technical report and brief discussion about the new instruments design and procedure that will enhance the safety measures in PECD.
