Spondylolisthesis fully cure after surgery?

[eni2008]

I have Spondylolisthesis L5,S1 and start a little to L4.And is to 5 grade.My doctor suggest me for surgery.Is Spondylolisthesis fully cure after surgery?

[Lienka]

I can't decide if to go for surgery or not.
I have slippage in my spine between L5/S1, "stage 3-4 !!!" have pain in my hips going through my legs. This isn't the only reason why I am thinking about the surgery. Other reson why is that I am afraid if I will not have this surgery done now, slippage will progress and I will do more damage to my nerves or bladder. Another reason is pregnancy, as doctor doesn't recommend the pregnancy before this surgery is done.
Please help, I would be thankful for any advise

Hi

I've had the operation for spinal Decompression and Fussion in 1995 and it failed in 2001 this is the "normal" for the operation as it has an 85% failure rate after 5 years.

Originally I damaged L5 and had this fussed and then the Titanium was removed in 1996 and from then to 2001 further damage occured, which i did not know about and have now damaged L1 to L5 and there is no cure.

Sorry

I use Buranorphine patches to help with the continuous pain - as well as several tablets a day.

If you would like to talk about this please let me know.
