Area of Science:

  • Spine surgery
  • Orthopedic surgery

Background:

  • The lateral transpsoas approach is increasingly used for lumbar interbody fusion.
  • It provides a good fusion environment, restores disc height, and corrects alignment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the lateral transpsoas approach for lumbar interbody fusion.
  • To emphasize patient safety and evidence-based techniques for surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • Review of preoperative imaging, patient positioning, and surgical technique.
  • Description of intraoperative neuromonitoring.
  • Emphasis on critical pearls and pitfalls.

Main Results:

  • The approach demonstrates reliable fusion rates, pain relief, functional improvement, and deformity correction.
  • Effective across diverse lumbar spine pathologies.

Conclusions:

  • The lateral transpsoas approach is a valuable technique for lumbar interbody fusion.
  • Mastery of technique and attention to safety are crucial for successful outcomes.
