Agreement on the Level Selection in Laminoplasty among Experienced Surgeons: A Survey-Based Study.

CONCLUSIONS: The degree of agreement for level selection of LP was not high even though experienced surgeons would choose the opening segments on the basis of same criteria. These results suggest that more specific guidelines in determination of levels for LP should be required to decrease unnecessary wide decompression according to individual variance.
