THE IMPACT OF THE SCOPE OF EXPANSIVE OPEN-DOOR LAMINOPLASTY ON ITS POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS
Spondylotic cervical spondylosis is an umbrella term that mostly refers to a series of disorders that result in spinal cord compression due to cervical spinal stenosis,age-related changes(posterior osteophytes,disc compression and poste-rior herniation),as well as cervical spinal instability or mild trauma that can lead to paralysis in severe cases.In general,static factors for cervical cord compression include stenosis and bone spurs,dynamic factors include instability and trauma,and the nature of the dynamic and static factors interacting and often co-existing makes multisegmental spinal cord compression often more common.Expansive open-door laminoplasty(EOLP)is widely used in the surgical treatment of multisegmental cervical spondylolisthesis,which can achieve satisfactory results by releasing the volume of the spinal canal.Because the choice of sur-gical scope has a certain impact on various postoperative complications,it is a major problem for both doctors and patients to as-sess the prognosis of the treatment.Therefore,in this article,we review the recent reports of common postoperative complica-tions such as axial symptoms,C5 nerve root palsy,cervical kyphosis,and loss of cervical spine mobility associated with the sur-gical scope of EOLP.
