FUNCTIONAL RESULTS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR ISTHMIC SPONDYLOLISTHESIS USING ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR EXPOSURES

Abstract

Objective - to compare results of spondylolisthesis treatment using different surgical technologies. Material and methods: 84 patients (aged from 19 till 67) with spondylolisthesis of 1-3 degree (H.W Meyerding) were operated. Two methods of surgical exposures were used for decompression and stabilization. Anterior decompression and stabilization exposures from retroperitoneal access were used for the first group of patients. The second group was operated using posteriolateral interbody fusion with transpedicular screw fixation. The following results were estimated after operation: the level of patients’ postoperative adaptation period and the rate of neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation during the postoperative period. Conclusions. The obtained functional results show no difference for both groups where posterior and anterior exposures were used for spondylolisthesis surgical treatment of 1-3 degree.
