Spondylolisthesis Surgery (O-Arm Navigation + MAZOR X Robotic Spine System + MedTronic Implants) | Turan & Turan Clinic, Turkey

Spondylolisthesis surgery treats spondylolisthesis, when one vertebra slips forward over the one below it. This surgery is typically recommended for individuals with severe symptoms such as chronic back pain, neurological deficits (such as weakness or numbness), or spinal instability that do not respond to conservative treatments like physical therapy, medication, or bracing. Surgery aims to stabilize the spine, relieve pressure on nerves or the spinal cord, and reduce pain and other symptoms associated with spondylolisthesis. Preparation involves thorough pre-operative assessments, including detailed imaging scans such as X-rays and MRIs. This approach allows surgeons to precisely understand the patient's spinal anatomy and plan the surgery accordingly. During the procedure, the patient is placed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort and immobility.  The surgical team utilizes advanced imaging modalities to plan the procedure precisely. The O-arm navigation system provides real-time intraoperative imaging, allowing the surgeon to accurately visualize the spine's anatomy and the location of the spondylolisthesis. This helps determine the optimal placement of implants, such as screws and rods, for spinal stabilization. The MAZOR X Robotic Spine System helps the surgeon execute the preoperative plan with high precision. The robotic arm guides implant placement according to the predetermined surgical blueprint, ensuring optimal alignment and spinal stability. Throughout the procedure, Medtronic implants are utilized to provide structural support and promote spinal fusion. These implants, including screws, rods, and interbody cages, are carefully placed to immobilize the affected vertebrae and facilitate fusion. After spondylolisthesis surgery, patients undergo post-operative care to promote healing and recovery. Patients typically spend a few days in the hospital after spondylolisthesis surgery so staff can closely monitor their condition. Length of stay may vary depending on the procedure and the patient's overall health. Pain management is crucial to post-operative care. Patients are typically advised to avoid specific movements or activities that could strain the spine during the initial recovery period. These restrictions may include bending, lifting heavy objects, or twisting the spine. In some cases, patients may need to wear a brace to provide additional spinal support during healing. Despite technological advances, spondylolisthesis surgery remains a complex procedure with inherent risks. Choosing our skilled team helps ensure patients receive superior care and achieve long-lasting, high-quality outcomes. Additionally, our medical center has lower complication and failure rates than other clinics, offering added reassurance to patients seeking spondylolisthesis surgery. If spondylolisthesis surgery is left untreated or uncorrected, it can lead to progressive spinal instability, worsening pain, neurological deficits, and impaired mobility. Without surgical intervention, the condition may result in chronic disability, loss of function, and diminished quality of life. Timely treatment is essential to prevent further complications and restore spinal health.
