Has anyone had experience with laminoplasty to treat cervical stenosis

Hi Jennifer. My surgeon says he will perform the laminoplasty as well as clean-up the bone spurs with foraminotomies. I have had 3 opinions including one from Mayo (just today) and they all agree with my surgeon's recommendation. I feel good about where I am... it's just frustrating there isn't much out there from others who have had the procedure.

@wjh67 That is great that you got an opinion at Mayo. I'm glad they all agree too. You just have to chose the surgeon you trust the most. My C5/C6 fusion was at Mayo Rochester with Dr. Fogelson and I think very highly of him. I miss being at Mayo because it is such a nurturing place, but now I hang out here instead! Right about now, there may be a nurse who plays the piano in the Gonda atrium.

There may be some more members joining this post to share their experiences. You can also search the word "laminoplasty" or "cervical laminoplasty" and see if you find it mentioned in other discussions where you may be able to connect and ask questions.

I checked your other post and see that you're probably at Mayo in Arizona.
