    Author: Iencean SM.
    Journal: Rev Med Chir Soc Med Nat Iasi; 1999; 103(1-2):219-23. PubMed ID: 10756916.
    Abstract:
    The present surgical treatment of the cervical spondylotic myelopathy and radiculopathy consist in cervical laminoplasty. The cervical laminoplasty has many variants since it was first proposed in the 1968's. It is presented a variant simplified of the Hirabayashi's technique of laminoplasty, used to the patients with unilateral cervical radiculopathy and it is proposed a technique of "bilateral laminoplasty" using iliac bone graft stabilized with transfixed wire. This technique is simple and permits a bilateral nerve roots decompression.
