Summary
This study explores transfacet minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for lumbar spondylolisthesis. Augmented reality (AR) integration enhances surgical precision and safety in this novel approach.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Spinal Fusion Techniques
Background:
- Lumbar spondylolisthesis management often involves complex surgical approaches.
- Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) offers a less invasive alternative.
- Advancements in surgical technologies like augmented reality (AR) present opportunities to improve MIS-TLIF outcomes.
