Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Disorders

Background:

  • Degenerative spondylolisthesis often causes disabling lumbar and radicular pain.
  • Conservative treatments may fail to alleviate symptoms in some patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the results of surgical treatment for degenerative spondylolisthesis.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of different surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 31 patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis.
  • Surgical procedures included neural decompression with segmental fusion, fusion alone, posterior fusion, and intervertebral fusion.
  • Internal stabilization with wire loops was used in some posterior fusion cases.

Main Results:

  • Overall, 28 out of 31 patients (91%) achieved good or fair results.
  • Three patients (9%) did not experience improvement.
  • Surgical outcomes were favorable across various techniques employed.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical treatment is highly beneficial for degenerative spondylolisthesis when conservative methods fail.
  • Specific surgical approaches demonstrated significant efficacy in pain relief and functional improvement.
