Extreme lateral interbody fusion relieves symptoms of spinal stenosis and low-grade spondylolisthesis by indirect decompression in complex patients

Highlights • Stenosis and low-grade spondylolisthesis can be indirectly decompressed by extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF). • XLIF can improve pain and disability in patients with comorbidities. • Sagittal balance parameters like scoliosis and lordosis can be improved by XLIF. • Lumbosacral sen...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Stenosis and low-grade spondylolisthesis can be indirectly decompressed by extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF). • XLIF can improve pain and disability in patients with comorbidities. • Sagittal balance parameters like scoliosis and lordosis can be improved by XLIF. • Lumbosacral sensory plexopathy is a common transient complication of XLIF.
