Specifically, minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) has a steep learning curve and there is a lack of concise information on solutions to optimize outcomes. Areas Covered: This review details an appropriate surgical technique of MIS TLIF and includes an overview of the...
and means of surgical technique results in less collateral tissue damage, resulting in measurable decrease in morbidity and more rapid functional recovery than traditional exposures, without differentiation in the intended surgical goal” 2010:s271 McAfee PC. et al. Spine 5 MIS-TLIF • Foley 2002 ...
However, the MIS-TLIF technique has been suggested to increase the risk of inadequate nerve decompression because of the limited intraoperative field of view, leading to deficiencies in surgical and long-term clinical outcomes [12]. Currently, there is no definitive conclusion regarding the optimal ...
Background Minimally invasive direct thoracic interbody fusion (MIS-DTIF) is a new single surgeon procedure for fusion of the thoracic vertebrae below the scapula (T6/7) to the thoracolumbar junction. In this proof of concept study, we describe the surgical technique for MIS-DTIF and report ou...
2.2.2. MIS-TLIF group The technique of our previous study for unilateral MIS-TLIF included bilateral screw fixation and was performed on the symptomatic side[6]. Briefly, fluoroscopic guidance was used to determine the disc space and mark the lateral pedicle line. After a verticalskin incision(...

During the conference, the technical features and clinical application values of VBE technique will be displayed and discussed by ways of thematic speech and case discussion. At the same time, a VBE special section will be opened on...
A minimally invasive lumbar fusion, or “MIS,” is an approach “from the back side” of the spine that can be used with the PLIF or TLIF.
Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) are common surgical methods for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. Traditional PLIF is limited by causing iatrogenic injury to the paraspinal musculature, over dural extraction, and disruption of the posterior...
