Overview:
Posterior Cervical Laminoplasty is similar to Cervical Laminectomy except that instead of removing the compressing structures they are retained. Adequate room for spinal cord is made through a hinge which is maintained with sutures or implants thus relieving the compression over the neural structures.
Disclaimer: The description of procedure is how usually a surgery is done. During the procedure, based on intra operative encounters which varies from patient to patient different steps may be performed.
