Abstract

Surgery for high-grade spondylolisthesis remains challenging and is associated with significant controversy and complications. The recognition of its effects on associated neural elements (in particular the exiting nerve roots) and spinopelvic balance is paramount in both surgical planning and avoidance of pitfalls. This chapter will highlight these considerations and provide technical guidance in both surgical planning and execution so that major complications can be avoided.
