The transverse-Lamina fusion in spondyoysis by the method of paraspinal sacrospinal muscle splitting and semilunar transverse skin incision

The treatment of spondylolysis is a rest, curtailment of activity and a back support. But in the case of increasing the back pain and disability, the surgical procedure is necessary such as the removal of posterior part of spine, posterior fusion of spine and anterior fusion of spine for lower back pain. If the patient had a radiating pian and positive neurological finding. the laminectomy is necessary. The another surgical procedure is the intertransverse fusion. In any way, after spine fusion, the motinn of spine is inevitably limited. Recently I had an experience of bone grafting between the transverse precess and lamina by the paraspinal sacrospinal mnscle splitting approach and semilunal transverse skin insion. The purpose of my experiences is the control of lumbago withont the lumbar motion limitation. The cases that I reported here are no any radiating pain and neurologically no any spinal nerve root irritation sign. I think, on the patient side, our method will be good idea for the chronic lower back pain without a radiating pain when the fusion becomes sucessful because of none of intervertebral fusion, non-cast immobilization and easily consealed surgical scar.
