Abstract
Spondylolisthesis is a common pathological condition caused due to various causes in young and old persons. The forward slippage of one vertebra over the other alters the bio –mechanics to an extent that can result in various postoperative complications. The most common complications reported are neurogical deficits, pseudoarthrosis. Similarly, neurogical complications are a common occurrence postoperatively in the treatment of high grade slips. Percentage of reduction of slips, slips angle. and traction injury to nerve root tend to have a complex interaction leading to neurogical injuries. Finally Minimally invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) are now being used to treat Spondylolisthesis.
Keywords: Transitional syndrome, neurological complications, pseudoarthrosis, Spondylolisthesis, complications.
