Abstract:Study Design: Retrospective case‒control study.
Purpose: To compare minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) and Traditional open TLIF in the treatment of two segments lumbar degenerative diseases.
Methods:Patients who underwent two-level MIS-TLIF (n = 222) and traditional open TLIF (n = 214) for lumbar degenerative disease. Demographic characteristics, surgical information, and perioperative complications were compared between the MIS-TLIF and Open TLIF groups. The Visual Analog Sc… Show more
