From compression to correction ➡️
This week, Dr. Perry performed a surgery to treat Lumbar Spondylolisthesis, which is a slippage of the spine. This is one of the leading causes of severe low back pain as well as leg pain, numbness and tingling.
If non-operative management fails, the treatment is used to decompress the nerve(s), realign the spine, and stabilize the spine in that better position. This is called a minimally invasive fusion. In this case, it was done from a lateral and posterior approach.
Something amazing about this procedure is that lumbar fusion surgeries used to take several hours with a hospital stay of several days. Now patients are able to go home the same day when you are seen by DOC.
