Abstract:
Extended hemilaminectomy was performed in the treatment of compression of the cervical spinal cord produced by ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, multilevel degeneration and protrusion of the intervertebral discs and simple spinal canal stenosis. The results showed that with this operation the cross sectional area of the spinal canal was enlarged by 50% of the original, and the sagittal diameter lengthened 2,5mm postoperatively, so the compression of the. spinal cord was relieved. Since the function of the spinal process, the supra-and interspinal ligaments and the structure of one side of the lamina were preserved, mechanical stability of the cervical spine was maintained.
