BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF)—or MI-
TLIF—has been increasing in prevalence compared with open TLIF (O-TLIF) procedures …

Background Minimally invasive surgery has become popular in recent times and has proved
more advantageous than conventional open surgery methods, in terms of maximal …

Background There is an inherently difficult learning curve associated with minimally invasive
surgical (MIS) approaches to spinal decompression and fusion. The association between …

Background Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) for lumbar
spondylolisthesis allows for the surgical treatment of back/leg pain while minimizing tissue …

Minimally invasive lumbar fusion techniques have only recently been developed. The goals
of these procedures are to reduce approach-related soft tissue injury, postoperative pain …

Abstract Purpose While open TLIF (O-TLIF) remains the mainstay approach, minimally
invasive TLIF (MI-TLIF) may offer potential advantages of reduced trauma to paraspinal …
