Quantitative Anatomic Analysis and Clinical Application of Lumbar Spinous Process Split Laminotomy

CONCLUSION: The retraction width of 10 mm-12 mm is safe and effective. The micromanipulations such as tumor resection, nervous exploration, dural suture, etc. can be conducted smoothly via the surgical corridor. In addition, the retraction width of 12.34~16.82 mm could serve as a safety margin for surgical planning. Our findings may provide a quantitative reference for clinical application of lumbar spinous process split laminotomy.PMID:38497175 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.42396-22.2
