| Abstract | Objective The anterior approach for cervical ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) excision can improve long-term neurofunctional recovery by providing direct spinal cord decompression. The objective of the present study was to compare the clinical outcomes and complications between accurate anterior cervical ossified posterior longitudinal ligament en bloc resection (ACOE) versus piecemeal resection (ACOP) using propensity score-matching analysis. Methods Included in this study were 189 OPLL patients (65 female) who underwent anterior cervical surgery, with a mean age of 54.85 years. Of them, 105 patients (39 female) with a mean age of 55.69 years underwent ACOE, and the remaining 84 patients (26 female) with a mean age of 53.80 underwent ACOP. Of the 189 patients, 70 patients (37%) had a canal occupying ratio (COR) ≥ 50%, and therefore the patient data were stratified by COR with 50%. The clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups during a at least 27-month follow-up period. Results The mean final follow-up JOA score in ACOE group was higher than that in ACOP group. The JOA recovery rate of patients with COR ≥ 50% was higher in ACOE group. The mean operative time and intraoperative blood loss were both lower in ACOE group. However, postoperative complications were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion This study demonstrated that the ACOE technique gained higher JOA recovery rates and better neurological recovery than ACOP for OPLL patients with COR ≥ 50%. In addition, ACOE offered a shorter operative time and less intraoperative blood loss as compared with ACOP. Therefore, the postoperative complications were not more common between two groups. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
