  • Title: [Uncusectomy and uncoforaminectomy according to Jung. Technique, indications and results (author's transl)].
    Author: Kehr P, Lang G, Jung FM.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir; 1976 Jul 23; 341(2):111-25. PubMed ID: 979474.
    Abstract:
    The authors described the technique of uncusectomy and uncoforaminectomia according to A. Jung. The Jung-operation can be defined as the opening of the intervertebral foramina through the anterior approach. The aims of this operation are the liberation of a displaced or narrowed vertebral artery and to free compressed or irritated nerve roots by means of opening and widening the intervertebral foramina from the front. This report is based on 180 such operations performed by A. Jung and colleagues. The operation is indicated whenever cervical uncarthrosis leads to a vertebrobasilar insufficiency syndrome or a cervical-brachial irritation syndrome. Both syndromes commonly occur together. The results of operative treatment are analysed and the success rate lies around 80%.
