This is a 60-year-old gentleman with bilateral L5 pars defects and isthmic spondylolisthesis, worsening low back pain and severe right leg pain. He underwent fully endoscopic L5-S1 interbody fusion surgery.
Two weeks after the surgery, he wrote: "...This is the first time in 3+ years that I am pain free. I am up to walking one mile a day where I could only walk 50 ft. one week prior, and am sleeping through the night instead of awakening 8-10 times. ...I am so thankful to Dr. Shen and his staff for literally giving me back my quality of life."
