Comparison of Anterior Decompression and Fusion With Posterior Laminoplasty for Multilevel Cervical Compressive Myelopathy

Abstract: On the basis of this meta-analysis, anterior decompression and fusion is associated with better recovery of neurological function, better postoperative cervical alignment, higher postoperative complication and reoperation rates, more blood loss, and longer operative times compared with posterior laminoplasty.

“…Laminoplasty and laminectomy followed by fusion are 2 of the most commonly performed posterior procedures for the treatment of multilevel cervical compressive myelopathy. [ 5 8 ] Several articles have previously addressed decision making in the treatment of multilevel cervical compressive myelopathy. Yoon et al [ 1 ] conducted a systematic review comparing laminoplasty and laminectomy followed by fusion, but could not give pooled data.…”

“…Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is one of the most common spinal surgeries 10 , which can be used to correct cervical kyphosis and improve the symptoms of nerve root and spinal cord compression. Changes in cervical alignment before and after surgery have a direct impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) 11 .…”

“…This surgical method may not be effective for spinal cord decompression when the main pathology is behind the vertebral bodies, consequently, complete neurological recovery fails [23][24][25]. Therefore appropriate case selection is centerpiece factor in achievement of this procedure and neurological recovery.…”
