Description
Summary:Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) is a safe and effective anterior approach alternative of posterior fusion procedures, especially at the L2-5 levels. Beyond their mechanical advantages, anterior procedures are often called less invasive fusions but few studies are found in the literature publishing comparative analysis of complications. The goal of this study is to compare the complication pattern of homogenous OLIF and TLIF cohorts operated because of lumbar degenerative disorders. Intra- and postoperative clinical data of 67 patients operated with 1- or 2-level OLIF and a matched cohort of 201 1-, 2-level TLIF subjects were analyzed. All patients were operated on in the same institution because of a lumbar degenerative pathology. Perioperative parameters and all types of complications appeared within 40 days after discharge were collected systematically. ANOVA and chi-square tests were applied and p
