Article Synopsis
- The study reviews the effectiveness of decompression-only procedures for managing lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis, highlighting their advantages such as shorter surgery time and minimized blood loss.
- It found an overall failure rate of 9.1%, with open decompression at 10.9% and microendoscopic decompression at 6.7%, suggesting varying outcomes based on the technique used.
- The analysis indicates that failure rates increase over time, peaking at 11.7% by the fifth year, but shows no significant differences between single-level and multilevel decompressions.
