Lumbar fusion and spondylolisthesis
Dr. Ciccarelli has a particular focus on an accelerated return to function for patients who need surgery for spondylolisthesis.
When a slipped or unstable segment is pinching the nerves, he frees the nerves and steadies the spine with bone graft, screws and rods. A lumbar fusion typically involves a hospital stay of 2 to 3 days, light work after 6 to 8 weeks, and a solid fusion at about 6 months.
