About Video

Stay sutures to keep the door open should be passed into the facet capsules prior to opening the laminar door as it is very difficult to perform this after the door is opened. Specially made small titanium plates can also be used to prevent closure of the laminar door. Undercutting of the lower margin of C2 and upper margin of C7 may be required in some cases to achieve complete decompression.
