Imaging illustrations of both unilateral open-door laminoplasty and total laminectomy with fusion. A1–4 Preoperative imaging revealed multi-segmental cervical canal stenosis due to OPLL and thickening of the ligamentum flavum; A5 Intraoperative view of left-side open-door laminoplasty at C3–7 with plate fixation; A6–7 Postoperative imaging showed left-side open-door laminoplasty at C3–7 with plate fixation; A8–9 Postoperative MRI showed obviously reduced cervical cord compression after unilateral open-door laminoplasty. B1–4 Preoperative imaging revealed multi-segmental cervical canal stenosis due to OPLL; B5 Intraoperative view of total laminectomy with fusion and internal fixation; B6–7 Postoperative imaging showed total laminectomy with fusion and fusion and internal fixation from segments C3 to C7; B8–9 Postoperative MRI showed obviously reduced cervical cord compression after total laminectomy; OPLL: ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging
