Hello friends, today I'm bringing you a video overview of the Posterior Cervical Laminoplasty. This is a surgery we perform to remove pressure off of your spinal cord and also to realign your bones. Frequently, patients who are undergoing this procedure are having trouble with balance issues and coordination or problems with their hands. The great part about this procedure is that it is motion sparing, meaning that you do not lose any range of motion with the procedure like you would with an anterior cervical fusion or posterior laminectomy and fusion. Learn more about it in the video above.

I'm a board certified orthopedic spine surgeon proudly serving the people of the Bradenton/Sarasota/Lakewood Ranch, FL area in a multi-specialty orthopedic group called 360 Orthopedics (www.360-orthopedics.com).

  • This video has given me hope. You have been upfront about possible complications and done an excellent job for us neophytes. Explaining such a procedure in a very simple demonstration is an exceptional talent. After suffering from tingling, extreme shoulder pain, neck pain and my balance being thrown off, I'm not even supposed to drive anymore, you have given me a great deal of hope. Hope to, get my life back. Thank you so much.
  • Dr. Armaghani is very knowledgeable and a lovely Dr. Thank you for this video.
  • This is the best video regarding the surgery that I have seen. Thank you.
  • I love your videos so simply explained without missing any detail. Thank you!
  • Best explanation and illustrations I have seen regarding this procedure.

    Its like watching Blues Clues, but for Spinal Surgery!😂 I love it, and appreciate you and your effort to bring information that is easily understood. I hope for future MDs that you are at a teaching hospital, because you are amazing.
  • From your excellent presentation I now know this procedure is what I need.
  • Thank you for this hilarious channel and really very educational videos...Greetings from Istanbul 🇹🇷

    Thank you for these excellent videos. You explain things so thoroughly. Why do some surgeons want to do a laminectomy instead of this lamineplasty?
  • @SJCDAVE
    Thankyou for posting this informative discussion of the laminoplasty procedure. I am having the procedure done in 10 days on C3,C4, & C5. While my doctor explained things to me, your explanations were very helpful and answered questions I didn't think to ask.
  • I have watched your videos with serious intent and great appreciation. Neuro surgery appt next Tuesday and I have taken notes, have my questions ready, and hopefully will be given options. Just not a fan of multi level ACDF. More for long term dsyphagia and limiting movement. Thanks Dr A!!! This RN is equipped to make the best decision for me next week! Truly grateful for your videos.

    I have 5 days since intervened for a laminoplasty at the Mass. General in Boston. My doctor Stuart Hershman did a wonderful job. No meds since yesterday and very little pain. I stayed two days at the hospital although the 2nd day was more for comfort reasons since we are from out of town.
  • Thank you for the video. Just some anatomical corrections [Via Cramer and Gray's Anatomy]: the word "lateral mass" is only used for Atlas (C1). What you are calling the lateral masses, are actually called the articular pillars (superior and inferior articular processes). At 10:15 the view is actually an inferior-to-superior view, not an superior-to inferior view.

    Thank you for posting the video. It's regarding my mother who has been suffering from vertigo (without any neck pain) since May. After MRI and diagnosis, the doctor said it's cervical stenosis. She has been on medication since May and started physio in August. There is slight improvement, but the vertigo keeps swtiching back especially while lying down and getting up. Do you reckon the surgery is recommended in this case? I understand this takes time, but it's been almost 7 months....Appreciate your advise in this matter. Wish everyone here a speedy recovery!
  • hi doctor I would like to know the treatment procedure to treat intramedullary edema how does it work?
