Laminectomy vs. laminoplasty for treating multi-segment cervical canal stenosis combined with central cord syndrome in the absence of fracture or dislocation: a retrospective study.

After adjusting for potential confounding factors, patients who underwent LF surgery had a 1.353-fold and 1.330-fold greater likelihood of achieving favorable postoperative JOA and IHMS recovery, respectively, compared to those who underwent LP surgery; however, these associations did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.146 for JOA, P = 0.225 for IHMS). 4 Discussion Our findings suggested that both laminectomy and laminoplasty can effectively improve neurological symptoms, reduce pain, enhance motor ability and employability, and relieve edema or hemorrhage of the cervical cord.
