Effect of Minimally Invasive Selective Laminectomy for Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy on Degenerative Spondylolisthesis

Conclusions: SL does not affect DS, sagittal alignment, or ROM irrespective of the slip direction and the number of laminae removed, even after>2 years after surgery. Given the preservation of the posterior elements, SL may be an effective treatment for CSM with DS. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
