It is not yet clear whether decompressive laminectomy with concomitant fusion is the optimal surgical treatment for spinal stenosis combined with mild DS. We, therefore, evaluated minimum 3-year clinical outcomes and radiologic changes in patients with LSS and grade 1 DS, who underwent microsurgical bilateral decompression via a unilateral approach, without fusion.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We assessed 21 consecutive patients who underwent surgery conducted by a single surgeon of our hospital, between 2005 and 2007. The Oswestry Disability Index was determined preoperatively, just before discharge, and at last follow-up. Plain dynamic x-rays were used to determine slip percentages.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Average patient age and clinical and radiologic follow-up periods were 67 years, 49.3 months, and 18 months, respectively. Preoperative, immediate postoperative, and last follow-up average Oswestry Disability Indices were 59.52\u00b19.00, 50.19\u00b17.23, and 26.19\u00b112.42, respectively. However, 1 patient experienced aggravated symptoms and later underwent a fusion procedure. Of the 22 levels with spondylolisthesis, 15 had no sagittal motion as the difference in slip percentage on dynamic x-rays, but 7 showed sagittal motion. Average slip percentages increased from 13.90\u00b15.41% to 14.60\u00b15.78% for levels without sagittal motion on dynamic x-ray, and from 13.12\u00b13.48% to 18.58\u00b14.55% for levels with sagittal motion.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Despite small case series with retrospective design and the absence of a control group, our study suggests that bilateral decompression via a unilateral approach in patients with LSS and grade 1 DS showed good mid-term clinical outcomes, despite an increase in slip percentage.<\/jats:p>\n            <jats:p>However, more marked increases in slippage were observed in patients with sagittal motion in spondylolisthesis levels on preoperative dynamic x-ray, than in patients without sagittal motion. Therefore, bilateral decompression via a unilateral approach can aggravate symptoms related to instability in patients with preoperative sagittal motion on dynamic x-ray, and needs a longer term follow-up than in our study.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/bsd.0b013e31827566a8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,16]],"date-time":"2012-10-16T10:25:10Z","timestamp":1350383110000},"page":"268-271","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Clinical Outcomes and Radiologic Changes After Microsurgical Bilateral Decompression by a Unilateral Approach in Patients With Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Grade I Degenerative Spondylolisthesis With a Minimum 3-Year Follow-Up"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Jun-Won","family":"Jang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Mokdong Himchanhospital, Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin-Hun","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Gangneung Asan Hospital, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Gangneung"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seung-Jae","family":"Hyun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Spine Center, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seongnam, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seung-Chul","family":"Rhim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Gangneung Asan Hospital, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Gangneung"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20230831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"794","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa0707136","article-title":"Sugical versus nonsurgical therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis","volume":"358","author":"Weinstein","year":"2008","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"R2-20230831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-198603000-00001","article-title":"Postoperative instability after decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis","volume":"11","author":"Johnsson","year":"1986","journal-title":"Spine"},{"key":"R3-20230831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"591","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-198906000-00008","article-title":"Preoperative and postoperative instability in lumbar spinal stenosis","volume":"14","author":"Johnsson","year":"1989","journal-title":"Spine"},{"key":"R4-20230831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"343","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-199508000-00025","article-title":"Central lumbar stenosis caused by ligamentum flavum: unilateral laminotomy for bilateral ligamentectomy: preliminary report of two cases","volume":"37","author":"Poletti","year":"1995","journal-title":"Neurosurgery"},{"key":"R6-20230831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"461","DOI":"10.1097\/00002517-199306060-00001","article-title":"The role of fusion and instrumentation in the treatment of degenerative spondylolisthesis with spinal stenosis","volume":"6","author":"Bridwell","year":"1993","journal-title":"J Spinal Disord"},{"key":"R7-20230831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"802","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-199173060-00002","article-title":"Degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis with spinal stenosis: a prospective study comparing decompression with decompression and intertransverse process arthrodesis","volume":"73","author":"Herkowitz","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Am"},{"key":"R8-20230831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"479","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-197961040-00001","article-title":"Management of severe spondylolisthesis in children and adolescents","volume":"61","author":"Boxall","year":"1979","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Am"},{"key":"R9-20230831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"230","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.36B2.230","article-title":"A radicular syndrome from developmental narrowing of the lumbar vertebral canal","volume":"36B","author":"Verbiest","year":"1954","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Br"},{"key":"R10-20230831","first-page":"4","article-title":"Lumbar spinal stenosis and nerve root entrapment syndromes.
