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 ...

Colonic Ileus Complicating Laminectomy
Neurosurgery, 1978Abstract Colonic ileus is an unusual form of adynamic ileus that often mimics true intestinal obstruction and that, if not recognized and adequately treated, may be fatal. We have encountered three patients in whom this syndrome followed apparently uncomplicated laminectomy for herniated disc or spinal stenosis. Two of our three patients

Biomechanical comparison of facet-sparing laminectomy and Christmas tree laminectomy
Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2003Object. 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, 1975Failures 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.

This study examined the efficacy of heparinized biodegradable materials in the prevention of post-laminectomy scar formation using a canine system. Six-level noncontiguous laminectomies were performed on five adult canines. Exposed dura at each level was covered with the following: (1) nothing (control); (2) fat; (3) fat and autogeneic bone; (4 ...

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

The assessment of appropriate indications for laminectomy
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1999We have developed criteria to determine the appropriate indications for lumbar laminectomy, using the standard procedure developed at the RAND corporation and the University of California at Los Angeles (RAND-UCLA). A panel of five surgeons and four physicians individually assessed 1000 hypothetical cases of sciatica, back pain only, symptoms of ...

Chemonucleolysis vs laminectomy.
Orthopedics, 1978Three hundred and nine patients having herniated nucleus pulposus syndrome were treated by chemonucleolysis with chymopapain. We analyzed the results of that treatment in the first 100 patients who had been followed up for two years. No significant allergic reactions, deaths, spinal cord injury or paralysis occurred.

Cervical Laminectomy and Fusion [PDF]
, 2018 Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a result of a combination of compressive, dynamic, and biomolecular factors on the spinal cord. Compression arises from narrowing of the ventral/dorsal cervical canal, disc degeneration, spondylosis, and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) and ligamentum flavum leading to direct pressure ...

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.
