reviewed. Objective. To review surgical technique, complication avoidance, case examples …

Object It is hypothesized that minimally invasive surgical techniques lead to fewer
complications than open surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD). The goal of this study was …

Background Over the past decade, the minimally disruptive lateral transpsoas approach for
lumbar interbody fusion (MI-LIF) is increasingly being used as an alternative to conventional …

Purpose Minimally invasive lateral interbody fusion (MIS-LIF) has become a popular less
invasive treatment option for degenerative spinal disease, deformity, and trauma. While MIS …

Study Design: A prospective single-surgeon nonrandomized clinical study. Objective: To
evaluate the radiographic and clinical outcomes, by fixation type, in extreme lateral …

The object of this study was to evaluate a novel surgical technique in the treatment of adult
degenerative scoliosis and present our early experience with the minimally invasive lateral …

Stand-alone minimally invasive lateral transpsoas interbody fusion (MIS-LIF), without
posterior instrumentation, is feasible because the technique does not necessitate the …

Objective Although oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) utilizes the similar approach in
anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), OLIF is essentially a lateral lumbar interbody fusion …

Object Minimally invasive (MI) fusion and instrumentation techniques are playing a new role
in the treatment of adult spinal deformity. The open pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) and …
