The choice of performing tactics of dorsal decompressive-stabilizing interventions on the lumbar spine for the prevention of degenerative disease of an adjacent segment

Purpose: Comparative analysis of the results of dorsal decompressive-stabilizing interventions (DDSI) on the lumbar spine for substantiating the method of prevention of adjacent segment degenerative disease (ASDd). Material and Methods: 79 patients were included in the retrospective research, 2 groups were identified: in group I (n=41) single-level research, in group II (n=38) two-level DDSI, with rigid stabilization of the spinal motion segment, in the presence of signs of its degeneration was made. Clinical outcomes, instrumental data and surgical complications were evaluated. Results: It was a decrease of pain syndrome in the postoperative period, an improvement in the quality of life in two groups (p0.05). In the distant period (24, 36 months), clinical results are better in-group II (p
