Cervical laminoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to relieve spinal cord compression in the neck caused by conditions such as spinal stenosis or herniated discs. It involves creating more space in the spinal canal by partially removing the lamina, the bony arch on the back of the vertebrae. The procedure begins with an incision made in the back of the neck, followed by carefully lifting the lamina on one side and fixing it with small mini-plates to keep it open. This allows the spinal cord to decompress and relieves pressure on the nerves. A bone graft may be used to stabilize the opened lamina. This procedure helps restore spinal canal space and alleviates symptoms caused by spinal cord compression.
