Laminectomy

Journal of Spinal Disorders, 1988
Two hundred seventy-four patients were reviewed 1-5 years after laminectomy for spinal stenosis or herniated disks. All patients were treated according to the Pennsylvania Plan Algorithm for Degenerative Disk Disease. Ninety to ninety-five percent of the patients noted good to excellent relief of their leg pain, whereas only 80% noted low-back pain ...

Vertebral response to laminectomy

Journal of Biomechanics, 1979
Abstract A finite element model of a complete vertebra was formulated from a previously developed bilaterally symmetric model. This model was verified by comparing its results to those of the previous model and by ensuring that the output was bilaterally symmetric.

The Biomechanics of Decompressive Laminectomy

Spine, 1987
The biomechanical effect of laminectomy as a means of relieving compression of the spinal cord-meningeal complex by an anterior mass was studied in ten grossly normal human cadaver spines. The basic experimental set-up involved drilling a sagittal plane hole transversely across a vertebral body to provide direct access to the anterior aspect of the ...

CERVICAL LAMINECTOMY

Neurosurgery, 2007
Spinal canal decompression via cervical laminectomy with or without foraminotomy is a mainstay of treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy and myeloradiculopathy. The goal of this surgery is to expand the cervical canal dorsally by removing the spinous processes, laminae, ligamentum flavum, and bony hypertrophy that are contributing to the canal ...

Laminectomy or laminotomy?

Zentralblatt fur Neurochirurgie, 1988
After laminectomy in infants and children vertebral deformities often develop. To prevent these the author applied the reanchoring of the dissected arches and ligaments (laminotomy) with success in four children. The details of the procedure and the reanchoring of the vertebral arches are described.

LAMINECTOMY

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1927
My purpose in this paper is to report a series of thirty cases in which I performed laminectomy, and to ask consideration for an operation proposed for the relief of a part of the paralysis due to fractures and dislocations of the vertebrae. It is conceded that the number of cases is small, but it is believed that they may be of some statistical value.

Biomechanical comparison of facet-sparing laminectomy and Christmas tree laminectomy

Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2003
Object. The authors compared differences in biomechanical stability between two decompressive laminectomy techniques for treating lumbar stenosis. A Christmas tree laminectomy (CTL), in which bilateral facetectomies and foraminotomies are performed, was compared with facet-sparing laminectomy (FSL), in which the facets are undercut but not resected ...

Sources of Failure in Laminectomies

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1975
Failures in laminectomy may be due to improper patient selection, of which the largest factor appears to be a lack of recognition of an underlying psychological disorder. Rarely an operative procedure is performed on the wrong side or at the wrong level.

Post-laminectomy Kyphosis

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1977
Post-laminectomy spinal deformity occurs in 50% of children undergoing laminectomies for cord tumors. Kyphosis is the most frequent deformity found. The integrity of the facet joints appears to be one of the most important factors in the development of this kyphosis. More children are surviving after treatment of these tumors and a pessimistic attitude

Effect of Laminectomy Methods on the Surgical Safety of Automatic Laminectomy Robot

The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery
ABSTRACTBackgroundThe efficacy of laminectomy procedures is contingent on the method of resection. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of different methods of resection on the surgical safety of automated laminectomy robots, an area that remains uncharted.MethodsLamina resection surgeries using both drilling and layer‐by‐layer ...
