Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Technical Note
Minimally invasive techniques for lumbar interbody fusion have become increasingly popular recently. A limitation of these procedures is the restricted field of view, which requires a thorough understanding of the three-dimensional spinal landmarks and appropriate technical skills. We outline the operative steps used in said cases and provide illustrative video and figures.
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 کاملIntraoperative electromyography monitoring in minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion.
OBJECT Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is an increasingly popular method for achieving lumbar decompression and fusion. The procedure is technically more demanding than open fusion, with correspondingly more theoretical risk of complication. The authors describe the use of intraoperative electromyography (EMG) as an adjunct to surgery to reduce the risk of compl...
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...
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...
