Description
Summary:Background Minimally invasive approaches for lumbar fusion are aimed at reducing soft tissue injury in order to minimize surgical morbidity and facilitate recovery. Method Applied to oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF), Da Vinci ® robot (DVR) assistance can help specially in obese patients. Positioning and important anatomical landmarks are reviewed. Indications, advantages, and limitations are discussed, and a step-by-step description of the procedure is presented. OLIF can be achieved efficiently through this approach with lesser blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and reduced rate of general complications. Conclusion The use of DVR assistance for OLIF is a promising new technique.
