Decompression and fusion for lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis is associated with higher early morbidity rates and risk of perioperative complications compared with decompression alone: a retrospective study in the United States
Decompression with fusion was associated with higher estimated mortality, morbidity, and 30-day complications. Decompression alone is an appealing treatment option for lumbar DS, particularly for patients with higher ASA scores and those at higher risk.
