Article Synopsis
- The study explores the differences in recovery and clinical outcomes between mini-open TLIF and MIS-TLIF surgeries for patients with single-level lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis, addressing the limitations of traditional open surgery.
- The research includes a retrospective analysis of 120 patients, comparing factors such as surgery duration, blood loss, and clinical improvements measured by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and visual analog scale (VAS) scores.
- The findings aim to demonstrate that both surgical methods yield similar mid- and long-term outcomes while evaluating radiological parameters like lumbar lordosis and the rate of interbody fusion.
Article Synopsis
- Spondylolisthesis is a common condition in the lower spine causing various pains and negatively affecting quality of life; the study aims to compare two surgical methods (MIS-TLIF and Open-TLIF) to see which is more effective in correcting spinal alignment and improving patient outcomes.* -
- The study involved 72 patients with low-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis over 18 months, assessing factors like disability, pain ratings, and spinal measurements before and after surgery.* -
- Results indicated that while both methods significantly reduced pain and disability, MIS-TLIF had less blood loss and shorter hospital stays, whereas Open-TLIF showed better early outcomes for leg pain; overall, both procedures
Purpose: We assessed the efficacy of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) in patients with low-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis.
Methods: We included 24 symptomatic patients who underwent MIS-TLIF between December 2017 and December 2020. Patients were followed up clinically by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for back and VAS for leg pain, as well as radiological radiographs after 6 weeks, 6 months, and at final follow-up (at least 12 months).
