Postoperative clinical data were collected, and pain levels were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), while functional improvement was evaluated using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). At the final follow-up, x-ray imaging was used to measure disc height (DH), slip percentage (SP), lumbar lordosis (LL), and slip angle (SA) at the surgical segment. Interbody fusion status was assessed based on the Bridwell grading criteria.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      ULIF surgery for lumbar spondylolisthesis with navigation assistance yields favorable early outcomes, including reduced surgery duration, fewer fluoroscopy instances, lower intraoperative blood loss, and less postoperative drainage volume (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05).
