The application of the concept of minimal invasive spine surgery in the development and innovation of cervical expansive laminoplasty / 中华外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Posterior cervical decompression is an important method for the treatment of cervical myelopathy resulting from cervical stenosis due to various pathology.Over the past 40 years,scholars from all over the world have made unremitting efforts in exploring the posterior decompression of the cervical spine and the protection and reconstruction of the cervical spine function,and have achieved remarkable results.The new concept of minimally invasive spinal surgery has stimulated the development of the new technology of cervical expansive laminoplasty via trans-muscular space approach and brought about new progress in the surgical treatment of cervical spondylosis.Cervical expansive laminoplasty via trans-muscular space approach provided a better solution for the posterior decompression while protecting and reconstructing the structure and function of the cervical spine.These achievements are not only the concrete embodiment and practice of the concept of minimally invasive spine surgery in posterior cervical spine surgery,but also show the persistent and endless pursuit of spinal surgeons to realize the concept of original ecological surgery in the cervical spine.
