Clinical and radiological outcomes following open door laminoplasty: a single center evolution of the technique.

CONCLUSIONS: Applying some few variations to a standard monolateral approach, although slightly more time and blood consuming, could reduce the incidence of long term axial symptoms and, in our experience, are not burdened by worsening of outcomes. A prospective, multicentric study with a longer follow-up should be conducted in order to confirm our findings. PMID: 30356036 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
