AB  - BACKGROUND: Amounts of clinic research have been performed to investigate the 
      increment of cross-sectional area in single-door cervical laminoplasty (SDCL). 
      However, no one has taken the effects of surgery drill into consideration. 
      METHODS: A mathematical model was built to investigate the relation of actual 
      laminoplasty opening size (LOS), the transverse canal diameter (TCD), and the 
      increment of cross-sectional area in SDCL). The model was based on geometric 
      analysis on deformation of spinal canal; the relation was derived and 
      characterized as: (Equation is included in full-text article.), where a is the 
      TCD, b the actual LOS, c the size of mini-plate, and d is diameter of the surgery 
      drill bit. In the equation, the related variables would be measured to estimate 
      the increment of cross-sectional area before the surgery. In the current 
      research, 25 patients authorized to use their CT scans of C3 approximately C7 as the subject 
      samples. RESULTS: The effects of surgery SDCL were very significant; for each 
      patient, the cross-sectional area was enlarged dramatically after the surgery 
      (P < .01). On the contrary, the difference between the cross-sectional area 
      obtained by the equation and that measured by software was statistically 
      negligible (P > .05), which confirmed the reliability of the modeling equation. 
      CONCLUSIONS: Before the SDCL, increment of the cross-sectional area can be 
      estimated by the above-mentioned modeling equation with a high-level reliability. 
      This method ensures the optimum selection of mini-plate before operation for each 
      patient.
