Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Whether treatment outcomes of single-door laminoplasty are different from double-door laminoplasty for cervical spondylotic myelopathy remains controversial. Even relevant meta-analysis obtains different conclusions.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of cervical posterior single-door laminoplasty versus double-door laminoplasty in the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
METHODS: Clinical trials of single-door laminoplasty versus double-door laminoplasty for cervical spondylotic myelopathy were retrieved. Literature screening, data extraction and literature evaluation were conducted by two researchers independently. The quality of the included randomized controlled trials was assessed with the bias risk assessment tool provided by Cochrane Collaborative Network. The quality of the retrospective studies was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale score and meta-analysis was performed on RevMan 5.3 software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) A total of 14 articles were included, involving 893 patients. (2) The meta-analysis results showed that there were no significant differences in the Visual Analogue Scale scores [SMD=0.24, 95%CI (-0.64, 1.11), P=0.60], Japan Orthopaedic Association scores [SMD=0.15, 95%CI (-0.23, 0.52), P=0.44], Japan Orthopaedic Association recovery rate [MD=0.02, 95%CI (-0.02, 0.06), P=0.33], Nurick grade [SMD=-0.34, 95%CI (-0.73, 0.05), P=0.09], operation time [SMD=-0.21, 95%CI (-0.43, 0.02), P=0.07], blood loss [SMD=0.28, 95%CI (-0.20, 0.77), P=0.25], cervical lordosis [MD=0, 95%CI (-0.49, 0.77), P=1.00], range of motion [SMD=0.41, 95%CI (-0.48, 1.31), P=0.37] between two methods. (3) In terms of cervical canal enlargement rate, single-door laminoplasty was superior to double-door laminoplasty [MD=0.18, 95%CI (0.06, 0.30), P=0.003]. The postoperative complications of double-door laminoplasty were significantly lower than those of single-door laminoplasty [RR=1.5, 95%CI (1.04, 2.15), P=0.03], especially in postoperative pain symptoms [RR=6.35, 95%CI (1.93, 20.92), P=0.002]. (4) In summary, all clinical effects of cervical posterior double-door laminoplasty are similar to single-door laminoplasty, except for the few complications. But single-door laminoplasty can increase the spinal canal volume enlargement rate, so a large number of high-quality studies are needed to provide sufficient evidence.
