متن کاملLaminoplasty instead of laminectomy as a decompression method in posterior instrumented fusion for degenerative cervical kyphosis with stenosis
BACKGROUND Posterior laminectomy with instrumented fusion is a standard procedure for treating degenerative cervical kyphosis with stenosis (DCKS). Two major disadvantages of the surgery are adhesion of the dural membrane with significant disfiguring of cervical spine and a small fusion bed around the lateral mass. One of the advantages of laminoplasty over laminectomy is the protection of the ...
متن کاملPosterior cervical decompressive laminectomy and lateral mass screw fixation.
OBJECTIVE To review the results and complications of cervical decompressive laminectomy and lateral mass screw fixation. METHODS This retrospective study was carried out between October 2006 and January 2010 at King Abdullah University Hospital, Irbid, Jordan.
