Open-door laminoplasty is a useful operation in the surgical management of cervical myelopathy with favorable outcomes and relatively low complications. One potential undesirable outcome is a decrease in cervical lordosis postoperatively. It is unknown whether the most proximal level undergoing laminoplasty affects the magnitude of loss of lordosis ...

Clinical and functional outcomes of laminoplasty and laminectomy
Neurological Research, 2010Laminoplasty has become a common alternative to laminectomy for cervical spondylotic myelopathy or radiculopathy. The procedures have been compared before, but data on functional recovery are limited. We aim to compare the safety and short-term clinical and functional outcomes of cervical laminoplasty and cervical laminectomy.We performed a ...

Radiculopathy After Laminoplasty of the Cervical Spine
Spine, 1998The risk factors of patients with and without radiculopathy after laminoplasty of the cervical spine were compared retrospectively.To study the association between risk variables and postlaminoplastic radiculopathy to clarify the pathogenesis of radiculopathy and to devise preventive measures.Radiculopathy after cervical laminoplasty on the expanded ...

Tension-band laminoplasty of the cervical spine
International Orthopaedics, 1996A new laminoplasty of the cervical spine has been developed using preserved ligaments as a tension-band. The laminae were enlarged in an open-door fashion and spacers inserted to maintain the spinolaminoligamentous complex intact. The stretched ligaments exerted a tension-band effect on the spacers and stabilised them so that neck movements could be ...

A Critical Review of Cervical Laminoplasty
Neurosurgery Quarterly, 2004Purpose Laminoplasty was developed in the 1970s as an alternative technique to laminectomy in treating patients with ossified posterior longitudinal ligaments or cervical spondylosis. The proposed advantage was expansion of the spinal canal while preserving spinal stability and preventing the formation of postlaminectomy kyphosis.

Complications of Open-Door Laminoplasty
2003Open-door laminoplasty has been established as a safe and effective surgical method for decompression of the cervical spinal cord [1-3]. However, it has potential risks of several complications, some of which are specific to this method. In this chapter, the possible causes, prevention, and management of complications related to open-door laminoplasty ...

Bilateral Open-Door Laminoplasty
2003Cervical laminoplasty has been widely used as an effective surgical treatment for cervical myelopathy caused by cervical spinal stenosis, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), and other conditions. Various techniques of cervical laminoplasty are available, and each has its advantages.

En bloc laminoplasty, i.e., the insertion of a bone graft between the lamina and the inferior articular process, is widely preferred to laminectomy for the treatment of cervical compression myelopathy. We are now applying a variation for other conditions.
