RESUMO
Isthmic spondylolisthesis is a common degenerative disease of the spine and seriously affects people's quality of life. At present, surgical indications for lumbar spondylolisthesis have basically reached consensus. The surgical plan for the disease is mainly isthmus repair, decompression of spinal canal, reduction of spondylolisthesis, and spinal fusion. The principle of treatment is mainly to relieve nerve compression and restore spinal stability, but for each the specific method and degree of implementation of the link still remains controversial. Open surgery can complete decompression, reduction and fusion of severe spondylolisthesis, and rebuild the stability of the spine. However, the surgical trauma is too large. Minimally invasive surgery can reduce the damage of paravertebral soft tissue, reduce intraoperative blood loss, shorten the time of hospitalization and rehabilitation, and reduce the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications. Therefore, in recent years, more and more clinicians praise it, but the treatment of severe spondylolisthesis lumbar spondylolisthesis is not effective. This article reviews recent advances in surgical treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis.
