| 摘要 |
This invention relates to a technique for performing laminar osteotomy (dividing of the spinal lamina, a posterior structure of vertebra). The term osteotomy is derived from os (bone), tomy (to cut or remove), and laminoplasty (the reshaping of the lamina). This technique can be performed with or without visual assistance such as cameras used with endoscopy, or image guidance such as fluoroscopy, computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
