Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Spinal Surgery

Background:

  • Degenerative spondylolisthesis, recurrent disc herniation, and degenerative disc disease cause significant back and leg pain.
  • Symptoms include pain, weakness, and paresthesias, often refractory to nonoperative management.
  • Surgical intervention is indicated for persistent symptoms or progressive neurological deficits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pre- and post-operative considerations for minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).
  • To detail the surgical technique for TLIF in patients with degenerative spine conditions.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview for surgeons performing TLIF.

Main Methods:

  • Review of pre-operative patient assessment and optimization.

  • Detailed description of the minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion surgical technique.
  • Discussion of post-operative care, rehabilitation, and potential complications.

    • Main Results:

    • Minimally invasive TLIF offers a viable surgical option for complex degenerative spinal pathologies.
    • The technique aims to decompress neural elements and achieve spinal stability.
    • Successful outcomes are dependent on careful patient selection and meticulous surgical execution.

    Conclusions:

    • Minimally invasive TLIF is an effective treatment for specific degenerative spinal conditions.
    • Comprehensive pre- and post-operative management is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
    • This approach provides an alternative to open surgical techniques for lumbar fusion.
