Review of laminoplasty versus laminectomy in the surgical management of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.

Conclusion: At present, there are no guidelines for choosing LA versus LP for treating CSM. Factors that should be considered when choosing one procedure over the other should include the patients' preoperative clinical status, the type of CSM, the pathological extent of OPLL, and whether there is a sufficient cervical lordotic curvature.
