Value of intraoperative ultrasound in posterior cervical laminoplasty of cervical radiculopathy
Objective:To evaluate the value of intraoperative ultrasound in posterior cervical laminoplasty of cervical radiculopathy.Methods:Clinical data of 30 patients with cervical radiculopathy who received posterior cervical laminoplasty in hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were retrospectively collected and included in the control group.The clinical data of 30 patients with cervical radicular spondylopathy who received intraoperative ultrasound treatment with posterior cervical laminoplasty in the hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were collected and included into the observation group.Posterior cervical laminoplasty was performed in both groups.The decompression effect of the control group before and after surgery was evaluated according to the observation results of doctors,and the decompression effect of the observation group was evaluated by intraoperative ultrasound.The cervical spine function scores before and six months after surgery,the recovery rate of six months after surgery,and the pain degree of the two groups were evaluated by the pain numerical scale before and three months after surgery.Results:Before operation,there was no significant difference in cervical spine scores between the two groups(P>0.05).Six months after the operation,the cervical spine score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).The postoperative recovery rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group(P<0.05).Before surgery,there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Three months after operation,the score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of intraoperative ultrasound in posterior cervical laminoplasty of cervical radiculopathy can improve spinal function,promote postoperative recovery and relieve pain.
