Biomechanical Study of the Cervical Spine After the Cervical Laminoplasty (Hattori's Method) in a Rabbit Model.

Minimally invasive approaches to the cervical spine for lateral disc herniation or foraminal stenosis have recently been described. Lower rates of blood loss, decreased narcotic dependence, and less tissue destruction as well as shorter hospital stays are all advantages of utilizing these techniques. These observations can also be realized with a minimal access approach to cervical laminoplasty. Multiple levels of the cervical spine can be treated from a posterior approach with the potential to decrease the incidences of postoperative axial neck pain and kyphotic deformity. In this report the authors present a concise history of the open laminoplasty technique, provide data from previous cadaveric studies (6 cases) along with recent clinical experience for minimally invasive laminoplasty, and describe the advantages and challenges of this novel procedure.

The Relationship

Background: Many patients undergoing laminoplasty develop postoperative loss of cervical lordosis or kyphotic alignment of cervical spine despite sufficient preoperative lordosis. This results in poor surgical outcomes. Methods: Here, we reviewed the relationship between multiple radiological parameters of cervical alignment that correlated with postoperative loss of cervical lordosis in patients undergoing laminoplasty. Results: Patient with a high T1 slope (T1S) has more lordotic alignment of the cervical spine preoperatively and is at increased risk for the loss of cervical lordosis postlaminoplasty. Those with lower values of difference between T1S and Cobb’s angle (T1S-CL) and CL-T1S ratio have higher risks of developing a loss of the cervical lordosis postoperatively. Alternatively, C2-C7 lordosis, neck tilt, cervical range of motion, and thoracic kyphosis had no role in predicting the postlaminoplasty kyphosis. Conclusion: Among various radiological parameters, the preoperative T1S is the most important factor in predicting the postoperative loss of the cervical lordosis/alignment following laminoplasty.
