Vertebropexy - Randomized-controlled Trial
Sponsor: Balgrist University Hospital
Summary
To assess the need for additional fusion surgery versus the risk of a revision surgery in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal disease and to assess efficacy and risk of the ligamentous fixation technique (vertebropexy)

Interventions
Vertebropexy
microsurgical (i.e., the use of a microscope or magnifying glasses during decompression) lumbar laminotomy with partial removal of the medial facet joint by preserving the midline structures (supraspinous-interspinous ligament complex); approach: bilateral or ipsilateral with cross-over to the contralateral side. Additional stabilization of the spine with a ligament (for instance semitendinosus donor allograft), which connect the postoprior structures (Proc. Spinosus and/or Lamina) of the vertebrae . Situation-related application of laminar bands or analogous suture material (for instance FiberTape, Arthrex, Naples or Nile Band, K2M, Virginia)
