Cervical laminoplasty also requires bone modification and fusion...and often fixation. It's not an easy surgery either, but it does preserve the mobility of the neck. I would have gone this route too if it were more than two vertebrae being fused. I don't notice any lack of mobility with just the C6-7, but you certainly will with multiple fusions.
If you're bone-on-on bone, the laminoplasty might not be an option.
