Multilevel Cervical Spinal Stenosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Open vs Minimally Invasive Dorsal Approaches for Foraminotomy and Laminoplasty in the Cervical Spine Through Performance of Head-neck-coordination Analysis
To proof patients' benefit of minimally invasive surgery in the dorsal cervical spine an
apparatus to examine head-neck-coordination was constructed.
Two different surgical techniques will be compared:
Laminoplasty: open approach vs minimally invasive surgery (MIS)-approach; Foraminotomy: open
approach vs MIS-approach. Each patient will be tested before surgery, postoperative as well
as 3 and 12 month follow-up.
Hypothesis is that patients after MIS-approaches perform better in their
head-neck-coordination as patients with open approaches.
