Long-Term Results After Operative Treatment of Cervical Myelopathy by Laminectomy

  • Conference paper
Book cover Surgery of Cervical Myelopathy

Part of the book series: Advances in Neurosurgery ((NEURO,volume 8))

Abstract

We report on the late results in patients suffering from cervical myelopathy operated on by laminectomy in the fifties and sixties. Surgical treatment consisted of a more or less extensive laminectomy; in each case the dura mater was opened and the dentate ligaments cut. Early results were published by KUHLENDAHL and FELTEN (9). Patients operated on by other methods during the last decade are not considered in this report.
