A novel less invasive endoscopic-assisted procedure for complete reduction of low-and high-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis performed by anterior and posterior combined approach

ConclusionST provides a complete reduction in the slippage in LGS and HGS. The huge anterior release as well as the partial reduction in the slippage by the endoscopic-assisted anterior procedure, because of the cage is acting as a “guide rail”, facilitate the final posterior reduction, always complete in our series, minimizing mechanical stresses and neurological risks.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03644407.
