Successful salvage surgery for failed transforaminal lumbosacral interbody fusion using the anterior transperitoneal approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a popular posterior spinal fusion technique, but sometimes require salvage surgery when implant failure occurs, which involves possible neural damage due to postoperative adhesion. The current report deals with successful anterior transperitoneal salvage surgery for failed L5-S TLIF with less neural invasiveness.

approach (4). In 2002, Foley and Lefkowitz enhanced the same concept by means of the implementation of a minimally invasive TLIF (MI-TLIF) with the goal to reduce tissue damages, at the same time achieving both neural decompression and adequate interbody fusion (2). █ INTRODUCTION Minimally invasive surgery has gained popularity over the last decades. In 1982, Harms and Rolinger developed the t...
