Evaluation of Postoperative Kyphotic Changes in Patients Who Underwent Cervical Laminectomy

Laminectomy alone constitutes a proper and safe surgical alternative for cervical canal stenosis, especially in resource-poor countries. Although kyphosis progression occurred in some cases, there was no clinical impairment. Careful selection of patients by preoperative alignment is important for favorable outcomes. Comparing laminectomy alone with other techniques in longer follow-up will provide the final result in larger, multi-institutional groups.
