Article Synopsis
- MIS-TLIF is a surgical technique that has shown positive outcomes and involves a new method using marker screws for better pedicle screw placement.
- In a prospective case series of 37 patients, the MS-MIS TLIF technique resulted in minimal operative time, blood loss, and hospital stays, with no complications reported over two years.
- This approach potentially improves efficiency and reduces costs and radiation exposure compared to traditional methods, making it beneficial for both patients and surgeons.
