AI Article Synopsis

  • The study compared three surgical techniques for treating Meyerding grade I lumbar spondylolisthesis: unilateral biportal endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (UBE-TLIF), minimally invasive TLIF (MIS-TLIF), and traditional TLIF.
  • *UBE-TLIF showed significant improvement in back pain one week after surgery and had less postoperative drainage compared to the other methods, despite requiring a longer operative time.
  • *Overall, UBE-TLIF, MIS-TLIF, and TLIF were all effective treatments, but UBE-TLIF may offer benefits in terms of less paraspinal damage and faster recovery.

Article Abstract

Background: The unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) technique has garnered significant attention for its little paraspinal iatrogenic damage, expedited recovery, and low complication rates. This method is also applicable to open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a comparative analysis of the outcomes associated with unilateral biportal endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (UBE-TLIF), minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF), and TLIF for Meyerding grade I lumbar spondylolisthesis.

Methods: The study examined the outcomes of 79 patients with Meyerding grade I lumbar spondylolisthesis who underwent single-level intervertebral fusion. Clinical assessments included the measurement of pain levels using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for low back and leg pain, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), surgical data, and demographic information. Imaging techniques were utilized to evaluate the fusion rate.

Results: The VAS-Back demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in Group UBE-TLIF compared to the other groups at the one-week postoperative evaluation (p < .05). Additionally, the UBE-TLIF group exhibited a significantly longer total operative time compared to the other groups (p < .05). However, it was noted that the Postop Hemovac drain were significantly greater in the MIS-TLIF and TLIF groups compared to the UBE-TLIF group (p < .05).

Conclusions: The present research demonstrated the effectiveness of UBE-TLIF, MIS-TLIF, and TLIF as surgical approaches for treating Meyerding grade I lumbar spondylolisthesis. Among these methods, UBE-TLIF demonstrated a reduction in Postop Hemovac drain, and an increase in operative duration.

Objective: To explore clinical effect of percutaneous endoscopic posterolateral trans-facet lumbar interbody fusion (PE-PTLIF) in treating degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.

Methods: The data of 38 patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis treated with PE-PTLIF from December 2019 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 18 males and 20 females, aged from 39 to 75 years old with an average of (60.2±8.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of robot-assisted minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) and open freehand TLIF for the treatment of single-level degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DSL) and analyse the influence on postoperative adjacent segmental degeneration (ASD).

Methods: The clinical data of 116 patients with L DLS who were admitted between November 2019 and October 2021 and met the selection criteria were retrospectively analyzed. According to the surgical methods, they were divided into the robotic group (45 cases, who underwent robot-assisted MIS-TLIF) and the open group (71 cases, who underwent open freehand TLIF).

Introduction:  Spondylolisthesis is a common spinal condition in which one vertebra slips over another, leading to pain and disability. Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) has emerged as a surgical option for addressing spondylolisthesis; however, limited research exists, especially in the Indian context, evaluating its radiological and functional outcomes.

Objective:  The study aimed to evaluate the radiological and functional outcomes of TLIF in spondylolisthesis using standardized scoring systems, to evaluate the sagittal balance of the spine radiologically in patients who have undergone TLIF for spondylolisthesis, and to evaluate the correlation between the functional and radiological outcomes after TLIF.
