The main objective of this case and video is to demonstrate the surgical technique of navigated full-endoscopic decompression and sequestrectomy at the C7–T1 level to alleviate C8 nerve root compression and manage cervicobrachialgia. Cervicobrachialgia resulting from C7–T1 disc herniation is a quite rare yet painful condition that can significantly impair motor function in the upper limb. Traditionally, open surgeries can be invasive, with prolonged recovery times and/or fusion of the level with adjacent segment disease. Posterior full-endoscopic approach offers a minimally invasive alternative that allows for quicker recovery, less postoperative pain, and improved outcomes. By preserving motion, it also prevents adjacent segment disease. A 72-year-old female presented with sudden-onset cervicobrachial pain radiating to the ulnar side of the right arm, coupled with paresthesia and weakness of the flexors/interosseous muscles (Medical Research Council=M3). Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a large right-sided C7–T1 disc herniation compressing the C8 nerve root. A full-endoscopic C7–T1 posterior foraminotomy and sequestrectomy was performed with navigation. The patient experienced immediate relief from pain and improved motor function in the right hand postoperatively. Posterior full-endoscopic foraminotomy and sequestrectomy of the C7–T1 disc herniation is effective for treating cervicobrachialgia due to C8 nerve compression. The minimally invasive approach demonstrated in this video highlights the technique and stresses the advantage of navigation in the lower cervical spine.
