Suture-Related Delayed Epidural Hematoma Following Cervical Open-Door Laminoplasty: A Report of Two Cases and Literature Review. [PDF]

Orthop Surg
We report two cases of delayed postoperative spinal epidural hematoma occurring on postoperative Day 7 after cervical open‐door laminoplasty. Emergency MRI showed large paraspinal intramuscular hematomas compressing the cord, and re‐exploration found loose barbed sutures with muscle bleeding.
