TL;DR: In patients undergoing single‐level posterolateral fusion for degenerative spondylolisthesis with spinal stenosis, the use of pedicle screws may lead to a higher fusion rate, but clinical outcome shows no improvement in pain in the back and lower limbs.

TL;DR: Among patients with lumbar spinal stenosis with or without degenerative spondylolisthesis, decompression surgery plus fusion surgery did not result in better clinical outcomes at 2 years and 5 years than did decompression Surgery alone.

TL;DR: It is found that surgery for radiculopathy with herniated lumbar disc and symptomatic spinal stenosis is associated with short-term benefits compared to nonsurgical therapy, though benefits diminish with long-term follow-up in some trials.

TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective, randomized study on patients who underwent posterior lumbar decompression with bilateral posterolateral arthrodesis was conducted to determine the longterm influence of pseudarthrosis on the clinical outcome of patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Cochrane review of surgery for lumbar disc prolapse and degenerative lumbar spondylosis.
TL;DR: There is considerable evidence on the clinical effectiveness of discectomy for carefully selected patients with sciatica caused by lumbar disc prolapse that fails to resolve with conservative management and on the relative effectiveness of surgical disCEctomy versus chemonucleolysis versus placebo.
