Background: Endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (endo-TLIF) with bilateral percutaneous pedicle screw fixation is an emerging option for low-grade spondylolisthesis. However, uniportal full endo-TLIF with a complete reduction for high-grade spondylolisthesis is challenging.
Methods: We attempted uniportal endo-TLIF for L5 isthmic grade 2 spondylolisthesis with a complete reduction, and have described the procedures, with a discussion of the indications, limitations, potential complications, and ways to avoid complications.
Conclusion: We had successfully completed a perfect reduction of L5 isthmic grade 2 spondylolisthesis via uniportal endo-TLIF with bilateral pedicle screw fixation. Uniportal endo-TLIF is suitable for isthmic grade 2 spondylolisthesis.

Background: High-grade Isthmic Spondylolisthesis often requires surgical intervention for spinal realignment and decompression. This study describes a modified Bohlman procedure utilizing robotic-assisted navigation and a Globus SI-LOK interbody device.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on three patients who underwent the modified Bohlman procedure for high-grade spondylolisthesis at a single hospital between 2022 and 2023.

Background: There is a paucity of data examining anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) with pedicle-screw fixation (ALIF-PSF) or without (standalone, sa-ALIF) for the treatment of low-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis (IS). Treating pathology with sa-ALIF reduces costs, operative times, and posterior access morbidity. This study aimed to investigate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of sa-ALIF for the management of low-grade IS compared with an ALIF-PSF cohort.

Aim: To compare lumbar X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and to identify the factors associated with joint instability in cases with lumbar spondylolisthesis.
Material And Methods: We performed a retrospective and observational study of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of lumbar or lumbosacral low-grade spondylolisthesis at a single level. Preoperative X-ray and MRI examinations were evaluated.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effectiveness of a minimally invasive surgical technique, Mis-TLIF, combined with preoperative position reduction for treating lumbar isthmic spondylolisthesis, comparing it with traditional open surgery (Open-TLIF).
- A total of 60 patients were analyzed over a six-year period, divided into an observation group receiving Mis-TLIF and a control group undergoing Open-TLIF, with both groups having similar demographics and disease characteristics.
- The analysis focused on various surgical outcomes, including operation time, blood loss, hospital stay, radiation exposure, and complications, as well as patient recovery measured through pain and disability scales.

To assess the feasibility of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation assisted by a fully automated orthopedic robotic system for the treatment of isthmic spondylolisthesis and evaluate its early postoperative outcome. Totally 20 patients with isthmic spondylolisthesis who underwent surgical procedure by the same medical group from March 2020 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 10 patients in the robot-assisted group (RA group) and the other 10 patients in the conventional free-hand technique group (FH group). Accuracy of screw insertion was determined using the Gertzbein-Robbins Scale.
