Abstract
Whether an outcome of the natural history of degenerative disease or iatrogenically induced, lumbar adjacent segment disease (ASD), symptomatic degeneration of the superior or inferior spinal motion segment next to a prior fusion is a known risk following surgery, with some authors putting incidence at 6.3%.1ASD can manifest as listhesis, instability, herniated discs, and in many cases, stenosis at the adjacent levels.2 In patients with lumbar ASD-associated stenosis without instability, revision decompression may become necessary. This can successfully be accomplished with decompression alone without extension of the fusion construct. [1st paragraph]
