Comparative analysis of results of minimally invasive and traditional surgical treatment of patients with lumbosacral spondylolisthesis

This study evaluates and compares the outcomes of traditional and minimally invasive surgical methods for treating patients with lumbosacral spondylolisthesis. A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on 118 patients treated between January 2015 and December 2022. The findings reveal that minimally invasive techniques are associated with reduced surgical time, blood loss, hospital stays, and postoperative complications. Patients treated with minimally invasive methods demonstrated superior recovery, improved functionality (Oswestry Disability Index), and higher goal achievement scores (GAS) after 12 months compared to those who underwent traditional procedures. These results support the preference for minimally invasive surgery as a safer and more effective treatment for lumbosacral spondylolisthesis.
