Abstract

Laminaplasty is indicated in patients with myelopathy due to three or more levels of cervical spinal cord Compression.Appropriate cervical alignment and the absence of substantial axial pain are important for a predictable. i ost operative result. The lamina may be opened unilaterally or bilaterally, with little difference in patient outcomes. La minaplasty gives superior clinical results when compared with laminectomy and equivalent improvement to ant: erior procedures with significantly fewer complications. Therefore, we advocate laminaplasty as the procedure of choice for the treatment of multilevel cervical stenosis with myelopathy.
