Spondylolisthesis Frequently Asked Questions
Q. If I need surgery is there minimally invasive surgery available?
An alternative minimally invasive micro decompression laminaplasty procedure for the surgical management of Type III degenerative spondylolisthesis can be performed successfully avoiding the need for more aggressive decompression and fusion procedures. It is an operation that can “give you your life back”. If the condition is stable, why fuse it? Always ask your spine doctor and surgeon if there is an alternative to spinal fusion surgery. If they say no, get another opinion.
