Laminoplasty
What is laminoplasty?
Laminoplasty is a type of spinal surgery used to decompress spinal stenosis, a condition that can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in arms or legs. During surgery, a portion of the lamina bone (the roof of the spinal canal) is carefully cut. One side of the posterior elements of the spine is then hinged open to relieve pressure and give the spinal canal more space. The bone is held open with a metal piece. The procedure allows the spinal cord to heal, helping to reverse symptoms. Because it avoids fusion, laminoplasty patients typically retain a greater range of motion than they might with procedures using fusion.

Reasons for laminoplasty
A doctor may recommend laminoplasty when more conservative measures, such as medication and physical therapy, fail to relieve symptoms of arthritis, bone spurs, disc herniations, or fractures. Laminoplasty may also be recommended for patients who have pain, weakness, difficulty walking or experience problems with hand-eye coordination as a result of other spinal conditions, such as cervical stenosis or cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
What to expect during surgery and recovery
在麻醉下，外科医生会在脖子的后部做一个小切口。外科医生将小心地切开受影响椎骨两侧的椎板，然后将释放的骨骼敞开，以减轻脊髓上的压力，就像铰链上的敞开的门一样。在手术过程中必须去除或移位的骨骼和肌肉组织的量与椎板切除术的不同。您的脊柱外科医生将为您提供与您的状况和生活方式目标有关的具体信息，以及有关手术的详细描述以及如何使如何获得最佳康复的说明。
脖子和脊柱解剖
The spine is divided into the following regions:
- The cervical region (vertebrae C1-C7) encompasses the first seven vertebrae under the skull. Their main function is to support the weight of the head, which averages 10 pounds. The cervical vertebrae are more mobile than other areas, with the atlas and axis vertebra facilitating a wide range of motion in the neck. Openings in these vertebrae allow arteries to carry blood to the brain and permit the spinal cord to pass through. They are the thinnest and most delicate vertebrae.
- 胸部区域（椎骨T1-T12）由上胸部的12个小骨头组成。胸椎是唯一支撑肋骨的椎骨。姿势不良，关节炎和骨质疏松症的肌肉紧张是该地区疼痛的常见来源。
- 腰部区域（椎骨L1-L5）具有更大的椎骨，以吸收举重和携带重物的压力。腰部区域的伤害会导致臀部，腿部和膀胱控制的功能损失。
- s骨区域（椎骨S1-S5）在脊柱底部包括一个大骨。ac骨是三角形的，由五个保护骨盆器官的熔融骨头组成。
