Spondylolisthesis Surgery Story | Pete's Spondylolisthesis Surgery Success Story of Recovery

Pete shares his incredible Spondylolisthesis Surgery Success story and recovery. Like most suffering from Spondylolisthesis, Pete was told he needed a spinal fusion, but he refused. After having Spondylolisthesis Surgery without a fusion at the Bonati Spine Institute, Pete was pain free and back to living a full rewarding life. Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which a vertebra in the spinal column slips backward or forward and out of its original place. If a vertebra slips too much, it can press on a spinal nerve and cause pain. The common practice for Spondylolisthesis Surgery is a spinal fusion. Spondylolisthesis symptoms can cause compressive or neurogenic symptoms. The forward slip of a vertebra also makes the spinal canal smaller, leaving less room for the nerve roots running between the vertebrae. Symptoms of Spondylolisthesis: ~ Lower back pain ~ Buttock pain ~ Pain that runs down the back of the leg ~ Weakness in the legs ~ Tingling or numbness ~ Pain that gets worse with a twist or bending over ~ Muscle strain-like discomfort ~ Muscle spasms in hamstring muscles ~ Difficulty walking or standing Compressive symptoms can also arise because the nerve roots at the segment involved are pinched with the narrow spinal canal. If there are compressive symptoms due to lumbar spondylolisthesis, there may be pain down the leg to the foot, numbness in the foot, and possibly weakness when trying to raise the foot. The combination of spinal canal narrowing and enlargement of the facet joints produces the characteristics of nerve compression problems found in degenerative spondylolisthesis. Spondylolisthesis Surgery must address nerve compression symptoms if they are present. This usually means that the nerves that exit the spine must be freed of all pressure and irritation. Spondylolisthesis Surgery at the Bonati Spine Institute offers an array of surgical techniques to treat spondylolisthesis, which may include: A laminotomy/laminectomy , which is a decompression surgery for spinal stenosis and involves making an opening in the lamina to relieve pressure on the affected area and allow the nerve roots room to heal. This procedure is often utilized in order to give the surgeon the proper space to perform a foraminotomy/foraminectomy. A foraminectomy/foraminotomy, which is a decompression surgery, performed in order to increase the space of the foramen and hollow out the passageway where the nerve roots exit the spinal canal. The procedure involves the removal of bone or tissue that obstructs the neuroforamen and compresses the nerve roots leading to inflammation and radiating pain. During this procedure, the surgeons utilize specialized instrumentations to decompress the nerve roots as they exit through the foramen. A discectomy, which involves the removal of a portion of the intervertebral disc that is putting pressure on the spinal cord or radiating nerves. A discectomy may be performed as part of the treatment for spondylolisthesis if the disc at the affected level is herniated.
