In this study, we report our experience and follow-up results with a new surgical technique for cervical spine entitled posterior floating laminotomy (PFL) in comparison with conventional laminectomy and fusion (LF).Methods : Data for 85 patients who underwent conventional LF (n=66) or PFL (n=19) for cervical spine disorders between 2012 and 2019 were analyzed. Radiological parameters, including cervical lordosis (CL), T1 slope (T1S), segmental lordosis (SL), and C2\u20137 sagittal vertical axis (SVA), were measured with lateral spine X-rays. Functional outcomes, comprising the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA), neck disability index (NDI), and visual analog scale (VAS) scores, were also measured. For the patients who underwent PFL, postoperative magnetic resonance image (MRI) was performed in a month after the surgery, and the degree of decompression was evaluated at the T2-weighted axial image, and postoperative computed tomography (CT) was conducted immediately and 1 year after the operation to evaluate the gutter fusion.Results : There was no difference in CL, T1S, SL, and C2\u20137 SVA between the groups but there was a difference in the preoperative and postoperative SL angles. The mean difference in the preoperative SL angle compared with that at the last follow-up was -0.3\u00b0 after conventional LF and 4.7\u00b0 after PFL (p=0.04), respectively. mJOA, NDI, and VAS scores showed significant improvements (p&lt;0.05) during follow-up in both groups. In the PFL group, postoperative MRI showed sufficient decompression and postoperative CT revealed gutter fusion at 1 year after the operation.Conclusion : PFL is a safe surgical method which can preserve postoperative CL and achieve good clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3340\/jkns.2020.0305","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,11]],"date-time":"2021-08-11T05:13:34Z","timestamp":1628658814000},"page":"901-912","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3340\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Posterior Floating Laminotomy as a New Decompression Technique for Posterior Cervical Spinal Fusion Surgery"],"prefix":"10.3340","volume":"64","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8182-3321","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hong Kyung","family":"Shin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0903-3146","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jin Hoon","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1892","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/2009.2.spine08727"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199311000-00004"},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"1283","volume-title":"Evaluation of cervical laminectomy and laminoplasty.
