Dorsal unroofing after a spinal fusion refers to the surgical procedure in which the bony structures overlying the spinal canal, typically the lamina, are removed to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. This approach is often utilized to address complications such as stenosis or persistent pain following fusion surgery. By "unroofing" the dorsal aspect of the spine, surgeons aim to enhance the space available for neural structures and facilitate better outcomes for the patient.

What does impingement of the ventral lateral surface of the cord at c4-5 with severe spinal stenosis mean?
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal. The spinal canal is the space in your spinal column designed to house and protect the spinal cord. The 7 bones of your neck are known as cervical vertebrae. The narrowing of your spinal canal is most severe at the level of the 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae (C4-5.) Impingement is a term that describes a body structure, usually bone, pushing into either a nerve structure or part of the cord. The cord is divided into ventral, or front, and dorsal, or back. Also the lateral, or side structure are being affected. To sum up, at the level of the 4th and 5th vertabrae of the neck, you have an impingement of the front and side portion of your spinal cord.It means narrowing.
