Clinical and radiographic outcomes after minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion
OBJECTIVE To evaluate outcomes after minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF). BACKGROUND MI-TLIF is a relatively novel technique for treating symptomatic spondylolisthesis and degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine. It has become a popular option for lumbar arthrodesis largely because of its potential to minimize iatrogenic trauma to the soft tissue, paraspi...
متن کاملMinimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion
Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) is performed via tubular dilators thereby preserving the integrity of the paraspinal musculature. The decreased soft tissue disruption in the MIS technique has been associated with significantly decreased blood loss, shorter length of hospitalization, and an expedited return to work while maintaining comparable arthrodesis rat...
متن کاملMinimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion-indications and clinical experience.
BACKGROUND Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) has emerged as one of the common procedures performed by spine surgeons. Back pain and radiculopathy due to degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or deformity are the usual indications. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques have proven to be effective in TLIF as they are associated with less blood loss, fewer wound complicat...
متن کاملMinimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion: indications, technique, and complications.
The authors provide an overview of the minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) procedure including indications, technique, and complications. This novel technique is a method of achieving circumferential lumbar fusion using a unilateral dorsal approach. Minimally invasive TLIF uses a tubular retractor that is inserted via a muscle-dilating exposure, thereby minimizing t...
متن کاملComparing minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and posterior lumbar interbody fusion for spondylolisthesis
Although spondylolisthesis was traditionally treated with posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF), minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) was recently proposed as an alternative treatment for spondylolisthesis. However, no studies have focused on the comparison of these 2 techniques' outcome on spondylolisthesis.The operative reports and perioperative data of pati...
