Laminoplasty Surgery
The literal meaning of the word Laminoplasty is a procedure in which portions of the lamina which is the bony roof of the spinal canal are removed. It is a technique of increasing the space available for the spinal cord by reconstruction of the laminar arch. Laminoplasty is usually performed in the cervical spine. It may also be performed in the thoracic or lumbar spine (middle or low back), especially in pediatric or younger adult patients. Pressure on the spinal cord can be due to various causes including degenerative changes, arthritis and bone spurs. If the pressure becomes severe, Laminoplasty becomes an excellent way to get rid of this.

Your surgeon will make a complete incision over one of the sides of lamina and partial incision over the other side that is created over the hinged door. Another popular method in use is known as French Door Method. This procedure employs a complete incision via the central area of the lamina along with the partial incisions seen over every single side in order to create two doors, which simply open up at the center.
