Department of hospital surgery with course of neurosurgery Irkutsk State Medical University, Irkutsk, Russia.
Unlabelled: Open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) using transpedicular rods and interbody cage, which is used to treat segmental instability, is associated with a significant paravertebral muscle and ligament injury. A new rigid fusion method was introduced to improve the outcome of patients' treatment.
Objective: To conduct a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of minimally invasive fusion technique and TLIF to improve the treatment results in patients with symptomatic lumbar spine degeneration concomitant with moderate segmental instability of the lumbar spine.
