PURPOSE: Comparing laminectomy with fusion (LF) and laminoplasty (LP) for treating multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (MCSM) and comparative analysis of neck pain and sagittal cervical parameters.

METHODS: This single-center study retrospectively analyzed MCSM patients treated with LF or LP in our department between June 2018 and January 2023, with at least a 12-month follow-up. T-tests were used to identify operation time, hemoglobin, hospital stay, modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) score, C2-C7 Cobb angle, C2-C7 sagittal vertical axis, T1 slope, cervical range of motion (cROM), and C4/5 anterior and posterior spinal canal diameter (A-P diameter) and area. Non-parametric tests were used to identify visual analog scale (VAS) score (assessing neck pain). Pearson correlation analyses were used to identify the neck pain.

RESULTS: Of all 67 patients (LF: 24, LP: 43), both groups' mJOA scores significantly improved (P < 0.001). The VAS scores had both significantly decreased, with the LF group exhibiting a more marked reduction (LF: P < 0.001, LP: P = 0.037). Both groups' C4/5 A-P diameters and areas increased significantly (P < 0.001). The cROM had both significantly decreased, with the LF group exhibiting a greater reduction. At the last follow-up, the LF group's T1 slope and C2-C7 Cobb angle considerably increased, and pain VAS scores substantially correlated with the C2-C7 Cobb angle (R = -0.451, P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS: LF and LP were efficacious for MCSM. LF relieved neck pain better but caused greater reduction in cervical mobility. Cervical lordosis improvement was significantly correlated with neck pain alleviation.
