Severe spondylolisthesis , and scoliosis and stenosis status post previous laminectomy elsewhere

In agony preop.
Fixed today T12-Iliac wing instrumentation and fusion w revision L2-L5 laminectomy.
Surgical time 4.5 hrs.
EBL 1,300 cc.
Did well!!
Lessons to learn: laminectomy alone for stenosis w listhesis and or deformity usually should be accompanied w instrum and fusion to prevent recurrance and further instability.
