Cervical laminectomy and fusion versus laminoplasty in degenerative cervical myelopathy: A propensity score matching analysis
LP procedures resulted in significantly shorter operative times and LOS, but VAS scores were correlated with significantly better outcomes in the LF group. Notably, both LP and LF patients demonstrated similar improvement in mJOA scores, frequencies of intraoperative/postoperative adverse events, and reoperation rates.
