Cervical laminoplasty is a surgical procedure used to relieve pressure on the spinal cord in the neck region caused by conditions such as cervical spinal stenosis or ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). The surgery involves reshaping or repositioning the lamina—the back part of the vertebra that covers the spinal canal—rather than removing it entirely. This approach helps preserve spinal stability while enlarging the spinal canal to relieve compression. Cervical laminoplasty is especially beneficial for patients with multilevel spinal cord compression, as it provides effective decompression without the need for spinal fusion, thereby maintaining more natural neck motion. Patients typically experience reduced neck pain, improved neurological function, and decreased symptoms, such as numbness or weakness, in the arms and hands.
