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

Spondylolisthesis surgery aims to treat spondylolisthesis, where 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 is utilized intraoperatively to provide real-time imaging, allowing the surgeon to accurately visualize the spine's anatomy and the spondylolisthesis's location. This aids in determining the optimal placement of implants, such as screws and rods, for spinal stabilization. The MAZOR X Robotic Spine System assists the surgeon in executing the preoperative plan with high precision. The robotic arm guides the placement of implants according to the predetermined surgical blueprint, ensuring optimal alignment and stability of the spine. 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 the fusion process.  Following spondylolisthesis surgery, patients will undergo a period of post-operative care to promote healing and recovery. Patients typically spend a few days in the hospital after spondylolisthesis surgery to monitor their condition closely. The length of stay may vary depending on the specific procedure performed and the patient's overall health. Pain management is a crucial aspect of post-operative care. Patients are typically advised to avoid specific movements or activities that could strain the spine during the initial recovery period. This may include restrictions on bending, lifting heavy objects, or twisting the spine. In some cases, patients may be required to wear a brace to provide additional support to the spine during the healing process.  Recognizing that despite technological advancements, spondylolisthesis surgery remains a complex procedure with inherent risks is crucial. Opting for our skilled team ensures patients receive superior care, leading to long-lasting, high-quality outcomes. Additionally, our medical center boasts lower rates of complications and failures compared to other clinics, providing added reassurance to patients seeking treatment for 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.
