Minimally Invasive Lumbar Fusion Restoring Mobility in Spondylolisthesis
Patient
47-year-old female, Ghana
Clinical Context
The patient presented with persistent lower back pain associated with impaired mobility. Local evaluation confirmed spondylolisthesis.
Care Pathway
The case was reviewed by Indian spine specialists based on clinical records and imaging. Findings supported surgical stabilisation. A consensus recommendation was reached for minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). A video consultation aligned treatment planning with the patient, family, and Jivo Doctor Partner.
Treatment
Pre-operative assessment in India confirmed spondylolisthesis consistent with the local diagnosis. Minimally invasive TLIF was performed.
Outcome and Continuity
Post-operative outcomes included resolution of back pain and restoration of functional mobility. Ongoing rehabilitation and long-term spine care guidance continued in the home country under Jivo Doctor Partner supervision.
Case Insight
This case demonstrates how specialist consensus, minimally invasive spine surgery, and structured post-operative follow-up can restore mobility in patients with spinal instability when advanced care is not available locally.
