    Degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) involves vertebral displacement due to arthritis, leading to spinal instability and stenosis.

    Surgical treatment for DS includes various fusion techniques, but no single method has proven superior to others.

  • 3

    The study analyzed 678 patients aged 60 to 80 undergoing spinal fusion to compare complication rates across age groups.

  • 4

    Postoperative complications were categorized into early surgical, late surgical, and medical complications within three months.

  • 5

    Risk factors for complications included ASA class, BMI, osteoporosis, and use of anticoagulants or antiaggregants.
