Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics and Spine Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Open spinal surgeries can cause significant damage to musculoligamentous structures.
  • Minimally invasive techniques aim to reduce surgical trauma and improve patient recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical outcomes, radiological results, and complications of minimally invasive posterior lumbar interbody fusion.
  • To compare the effectiveness of this technique against traditional open surgeries.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective follow-up of 29 patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease.
  • Unilateral microsurgical decompression, interbody cage insertion, and percutaneous transpedicular fixation.
  • Clinical outcomes assessed using Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Macnab classification, and VAS scores for pain at 24 months.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvement in ODI scores (68.4 to 25.1) and pain reduction (VAS LBP and VAS LE).
  • 82.4% of patients achieved excellent or good outcomes based on the Macnab scale.
  • Solid interbody fusion achieved in 80% of patients, with a 5.2% rate of misplaced screws.

Conclusions:

  • Minimally invasive posterior lumbar interbody fusion leads to significant clinical improvements for degenerative disc disease.
  • Percutaneous instrumentation demonstrates an acceptable rate of screw placement accuracy.
  • The technique offers benefits like reduced muscle injury and faster rehabilitation, though potential complications require consideration.
