“…The annual cost of IVDD‐related disease treatment is over $100 billion in the US alone, which is even more than the total cost of treating stroke, respiratory infection, diabetes, coronary artery disease, and rheumatoid disease 2,3 . Currently available treatments only provide symptomatic relief from pain through physical therapy, and activity modification or surgical intervention, 4‐6 such as disc decompression and spinal fusion. These interventions cannot decelerate or prevent the progression of degeneration or restore physiological function of the intervertebral disc (IVD).…”

“…Using facetectomy, TLIF allows entrance into previously unharmed virgin tissue avoiding the difficult dissection of fibrotic scar tissues and excessive retraction of scarred nerve roots and dura, minimizing the potential for dural and nerve injuries [1,15]. Nevertheless, a higher incidence of dural and nerve injuries was reported with MISS; therefore, this has been challenged by some authors [16]. The restoration of the disc height by the cage indirectly decompresses the neuroforamen thereby improving the leg symptoms [15].…”

“…When comparing medium-and long-term (6 months and more than 2 years), primary outcomes (pain improvement, complication incidence, and functional outcomes) some studies show similar results, 5,6 whereas others demonstrate DEPL superiority over MDL in both primary [7][8][9] and secondary outcomes (surgical time, length of stay and bleeding volume). 10,11 Supported by studies with earlier initial assessment, 12,13 we have designed a patient evaluation protocol that starts much earlier than most studies on DEPL, beginning 48 hours after surgery, while the first assessment usually takes place within 4 to 6 weeks. Since the technique's medium-and long-term safety and effectiveness are proven, [14][15][16][17][18] we want to verify when clinical improvement actually begins, which may be a determining factor in choosing between surgical techniques with similar results.…”
