Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

postoperative 2 year Kelgren and Lawrence score increment
2 year D score increment
2 year IVD height decrement
an increase in active flexion extension angles at the surgical levels
Logistic regression analyses or multiple regression analysis were performed to assess whether surgical group was significant for the 2 year KL score increment, D score increment, and DH decrement adjusting for surgical level, age, sex, each comorbidity, and smoking history.
We determined the occurrence or deterioration i.e., incidence of instabilityat the surgical level two years after surgery.
The Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire was used for symptom based disability assessments before surgery and one and two years after surgery in single level laminoplasty. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine whether the kissing spine was a significant factor for the radiographic and symptom based disability outcomes.
Surgical time, intraoperative hemorrhage, and levels of change in laboratory data within the postoperative seven days were compared between groups in single level laminoplasty.

Results

Results. The 2 year D score increment and 2 year IVD height decrement was lower in group P. The
JOABPEQ revealed higher scores in walking ability, social life function, and mental health
in group P one year after surgery. Walking ability was the only score that remained higher
two years after surgery. The visual analog scale of pain in the buttocks and lower limbs
was lower in group P only one year after surgery. Finally, the kissing spine was not a
significant factor in any outcome.

Baseline Characteristics

Eighty five consecutive patients who underwent lumbar spine
laminoplasty

Participant flow

Eighty five consecutive patients who underwent lumbar spine
laminoplasty were retrospectively reviewed. They were nonrandomly stratified into
two groups, the posterior elements resection R group and the preservation P group,
and they were followed for two years after surgery.

Adverse events

The complications and revisions were as follows there was an inferior articular process
fracture in one case, a hematoma requiring surgery in one case, herniation of the IVD in
the operated level in one case, instability in the operated level three years after surgery
and fusion surgery in one case, surgical site infection requiring debridement and irrigation
in one case, and a dura mater tear in one case in group R there was a relapse of stenosis
requiring re-laminoplasty in one case, dehiscence of the wound requiring suturing in one
case, hematoma requiring surgery in one case and not requiring surgery in one case, an
inferior articular process fracture in one case, herniation of the IVD treated conservatively
in two cases, and a dura mater tear in two cases in group P.

Outcome measures

We radiographically analyzed the
conditions of the spine and intervertebral disc IVD two years after surgery. Namely, 2 year Kelgren and Lawrence KL score increment, 2 year D
score increment, 2 year IVD height DH decrement, and an increase in active flexion
extension angles at the surgical levels. We determined the occurrence or deterioration, i.e., incidence of instability
at the surgical level two years after surgery.
The Japanese
Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire JOABPEQ was used for
symptom assessments. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine whether
the kissing spine was a significant factor for the outcomes in group R.
