Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion Revisited: Complication Avoidance and Outcomes with the Mini-Open Approach.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To discuss lessons learned from an initial lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) experience with a focus on evolving surgical technique, complication avoidance, and new motor and sensory outcomes after implementation of a modified surgical approach. METHODS:A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected series of all patients undergoing LLIF by the senior author (A.D.L.) from January 2010 to January 2018 after implementation of a modified surgical mini-open technique, compared with previously reported institutional results with the originally recommended percutaneous technique. LLIF-specific complications examined included groin/thigh sensory dysfunction, flank bulge/pseudohernia, psoas-pattern weakness, and femoral nerve injury. RESULTS:The incidence (19%, n = 98 patients) of groin/thigh sensory dysfunction in our cohort was significantly lower than that of the historical control (60%, n = 59) (P < 0.0001). The incidence of abdominal flank bulge/pseudohernia (2.0%, n = 98 patients) in our cohort was improved but not significantly lower than that of the historical control (4.2%, n = 118) (P = 0.36). The incidence of psoas-pattern weakness (3.1%, n = 98) in our cohort was significantly lower than that of the historical control (23.7%, n = 59) (P = 0.0001). The incidence of femoral nerve injury (0%, n = 98 patients) in our cohort was improved but was not significantly lower than that of the historical control (1.7%, n = 118) (P = 0.20). CONCLUSIONS:The adoption of an exclusive mini-open muscle-splitting approach with first-look inspection of the lumbosacral plexus nerve elements may improve motor and sensory outcomes in general and the incidence of postoperative groin/thigh sensory dysfunction and psoas-pattern weakness in particular.

  • The Nuchal Lines as Anatomic Landmarks to Dissect the Muscles in the Far Lateral Approach.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:A critical step in the far lateral approach (FLA) is exposure of the V3 segment of the vertebral artery, located deep in the suboccipital triangle (SOT). Safe exposure of the SOT is achieved by means of a plane-by-plane dissection, which carries the risk of devascularization. A suitable alternative is to lif...
