Evaluation of enlarged laminectomy with lateral mass screw fixation in relieving nerve root symptoms and correcting kyphosis for cervical myelopathy and radiculopathy
PurposeThis study aimed to compare the surgical efficacy of enlarged laminectomy with lateral mass screw fixation (EL-LMSF) and anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) for multilevel cervical myelopathy and radiculopathy (CMR) related to kyphosis.Methods75 patients were retrospectively rev...

| description | PurposeThis study aimed to compare the surgical efficacy of enlarged laminectomy with lateral mass screw fixation (EL-LMSF) and anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) for multilevel cervical myelopathy and radiculopathy (CMR) related to kyphosis.Methods75 patients were retrospectively reviewed and divided into ACDF and EL-LMSF group. Clinical results including operative time, blood loss, and postoperative complications were compared. The JOA scoring system was used to evaluate spinal cord function and the VAS score evaluate nerve root pain severity. Cervical alignment a C2–C7 was measured with Cobb method and compared to confirm the reconstruction effect.ResultsData on 75 patients (M/F: 41:34; EL-LMSF/ACDF:42/33) with the mean age of 57.5 years (range 43–72 year old) were reviewed retrospectively. Discectomy and/or sub-toal corpectomy in ACDF group was performed with a mean of 3.24 levels (range, 3–4). Enlarged laminectomy in EL-LMSF group was performed with a mean of 3.89 enlarged levels (range, 3–5). The procedure of ACDF group showed a shorter operation time (103 ± 22 min vs. 125 ± 37 min, P = 0.000) and less blood loss (78 ± 15 ml vs. 226 ± 31 ml, P = 0.000) compared than that of the EL-LMSF group. Patients treated with EL-LMSF indicated lower VAS for upper extremity (1.3 ± 1.7 vs. 3.3 ± 1.3, P = 0.003) and better curvature corrected (10.7 ± 4.2° vs. 8.5 ± 3.5°, P = 0.013). The difference were of statistical significance. No statistical difference was found after surgery in the JOA score (14.1 ± 1.7 vs. 13.5 ± 2.1, P = 0.222). During the follow-up period, 15.2% of patients in the ACDF group had complications including 2 cases with transient dysphagia, 1 case with C5 palsy, 1 case with axial pain, and 1 case with screw pullout 3 month after surgery. However, only 9.5% of cases in the EL-LMSF group experienced complications, including 3 cases of axial pain and 1 case of epidural hematoma.ConclusionThe EL-LMSF procedure requires a longer operation time and more blood loss because of the incision of the stenosed foramen. However, the procedure has obvious advantages in relieving nerve root symptoms and correcting cervical curvature with fewer postoperative complications. |
