ABSTRACT
@#OBJECTIVE:
The main objective of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes of computer minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (CNMIS TLIF).METHODS:
Blood loss, operating time, complications, and hospital stay were identified through chart review. Numeric rating scale (NRS) scores for pain were taken during recent follow-ups, and these were compared to the pre-operative scores. Three different examiners assessed the pre-operative lumbosacral spine radiographs. At a 2-years follow-up, the patients were evaluated with NRS and the radiographs reassessed by three other examiners.RESULTS:
Seventy-four patients with a mean age of 54 years underwent CNMIS TLIF. Average blood loss was 300 mL, operative time was 4.5 hours, and the average length of hospital stay was 8.5 days. A total of four complications were noted in our study. There was an improvement of mean local lordosis and regional lordosis. The paired-sample t-test showed that the anterior, middle, and posterior disc heights at the cage level were significantly increased compared to the pre-operative values.CONCLUSION:
CNMIS TLIF is a safe and efficient method to achieve spinal fusion. There was a significant improvement in clinical outcomes in terms of pain relief. Radiologic parameters such as local lordosis, regional lordosis, and anterior, middle, and posterior disc heights showed significant improvements at 2-years follow-up.
