文摘

In most patients a solitary resection of a juxtafacet cyst is sufficient. Only patients with distinct criteria of instability should receive concomitant fusion. The risk of instability after solitary cyst resection is approximately 5%. Patients should be sufficiently informed about clinical symptoms of instability. Patients should be regularly reevaluated after juxtafacet cyst resection.
