Extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) is a relatively new technique whereby access to the disc space is achieved through a minimally invasive lateral, retroperitoneal, trans-psoas approach. The nerves of the lumbar plexus reside within the psoas, and the technique is dependent upon real-time ...
a lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) may be recommended. Fusion stabilizes the spine and prevents painful motion. The surgery is sometimes called DLIF, which stands for direct lateral interbody fusion, or XLIF, for extreme lateral interbody fusion. Both refer to the same technique. ...

Various lumbar decompression techniques have been used for the treatment of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS). Few studies have compared the clinical efficacy of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) in the...

The article discusses a study on the intraoperative and early postoperative complications in a large prospectively collected series of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) lateral-approach lumbar fusions. An extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) procedure was used in treating patients for degenerative spinal...
The recovery of lumbar lordosis and the fusion of bone graft were evaluated by the radiographic examination of the lumbar spine and lumbar sagittal Cobb angle.ResultsThe average operation time was 73卤12.7 min, ranging from 50 to 90 min. The amount of intraoperative bleeding was 650卤35.3 ml,...

Background context: The transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) technique is an effective alternative to traditional anterior and posterior approaches to the lumbar spine; however, nerve injuries are the most reported post-operative complication. Commonly used strategies to avoid nerve injury ...
