Cervical laminoplasty was popularized after eighties. Main indications of the
procedure are congenital narrow canal, multilevel spondylotic myelopathy and
ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament. A lot of different laminoplasty
techniques are defined in the literature. Open door laminoplasty and double door
laminoplasty techniques are mostly used ones. Laminoplasty is more frequently
used because of relatively fewer complication rate and late results of the technique.
Especially range of motion and cervical alignment are the mostly discussed long
term results of the laminoplasty. After the laminoplasty operation cervical canal is
effectively decompressed. Use of high speed drill and mini plates incresed the
quality of the surgery.
