Abstract:Objective To compare the efficacy of posterior single-door laminoplasty with anterior intervertebral space decompression, bone grafting and internal fixation in the treatment of multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Methods From January 2015 to December 2017, 64 patients with multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy admitted to our hospital were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method, 32 cases in each group. In the observation group, anterior cervical intervertebral space decompression, bone grafting, fusion and internal fixation were performed, while in the control group, posterior single-door laminoplasty was performed. The clinical data was compared between two groups. Results The bleeding volume, drainage volume and hospitalization time in the observation group were less than those in the control group (P?0.05). At 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation, the intervertebral height, C value of cervical vertebral physiological curvature and JOA score of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P?< 0.05), and the VAS score was lower than that of the control group (P?0.05). Conclusion Compared with posterior single-door laminoplasty, anterior intervertebral space decompression, bone grafting, fusion and internal fixation can better improve the nerve function, maintain cervical curvature and relieve pain symptoms in the treatment of multi-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy, which conforms to the concept of minimally invasive, and is worth promoting.
