Abstract

Cervical laminoplasty is one of many modern techniques utilized in the management of cervical myelopathy. In the United States cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) has been classically treated with multilevel decompression and fusion. Furthermore, multi-level anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF), via disectomies or corpectomies, and multi-level cervical laminectomy and fusion have been well described [1]. In the last decade cervical laminoplasty has grown in popularity as a non-fusion alternative that allows multi-level cervical decompression.
