What are the results of minimally invasive lumbar spondylolisthesis surgery

The results of minimally invasive surgery for lumbar spondylolisthesis depend largely on the severity of the lumbar spondylolisthesis. For example, minimally invasive surgery for lumbar spondylolisthesis of degree Ⅰ or Ⅱ is generally effective, while minimally invasive surgery for degree Ⅲ or Ⅳ is not effective. 1. I or II degree lumbar spondylolisthesis: Generally speaking, if the degree of lumbar spondylolisthesis is mild, minimally invasive surgery can reduce the irritation to the neighboring tissues and structures, and the surgical effect is better with less trauma and quicker recovery. Open surgery may also be performed if the degree I or II lumbar spondylolisthesis is combined with other symptoms, such as lumbar spinal stenosis. 2. Third or fourth degree lumbar spondylolisthesis: Third or fourth degree lumbar spondylolisthesis is more serious, minimally invasive surgery is less effective, and open surgery is usually used to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. The recovery time of open surgery is longer, and attention should be paid to braking and rest after surgery. Lumbar spondylolisthesis should go to the hospital in time, and the doctor will choose the appropriate treatment according to the examination results.
