Article Synopsis
- Awake minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) is a safe and effective technique that reduces tissue damage and costs for patients undergoing single-level spine surgery.
- A study reviewed cases from 2020 to 2023, finding that 16 patients, primarily older adults with common comorbidities, successfully underwent multilevel MIS-TLIF procedures with manageable complications and no new neurological deficits.
- The results suggest that despite the complexity of multilevel surgeries, this approach yields positive outcomes, including a short hospital stay and effective pain management, making it viable even for challenging cases.
