Biportal Endoscopic TLIF With an Expandable Cage: Technical Note and Preliminary Results in Terms of Segmental Lordosis Achievement and Disc Height Elevation.

Background: Biportal endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (BE-TLIF) is a minimally invasive TLIF (MIS-TLIF) technique, commonly performed with various cage types. Expandable cages are particularly effective in achieving segmental lordosis (SL) and disc height (DH) elevation in minimally invasive TLIF. However, the published literature lacks details regarding how these outcomes can be accomplished using BE-TLIF with an expandable cage.
