Recently, many neurospinal surgeons are utilizing spinal fusion techniques for lumbar degenerative diseases. This paper aims to summarize the standard techniques of lumbar spinal fusion. Lumbar spinal fusion is categorized…
The goal of surgery for degenerative spine disease is to decompress nerves; however, extensive spinal decompression may compromise spinal stability. Therefore, spinal fusion surgery is performed to immediately stabilize such…
Objective: Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) is a surgical technique that utilizes a large interbody cage to indirectly decompress neural elements. The position of the cage relative to the vertebral…
We sought to investigate the outcomes of posterior-only approach using polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cage combined with single-segment instrumentation (modified-approach) for mono-segment lumbar tuberculosis in children. Between February 2008 and August 2017…
Study design: Retrospective cohort study. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for patients undergoing one-to three-level lumbar fusion using robotically assisted vs freehand…
Purpose: Pseudoarthrosis and metal failure at L5-S1 following long fusion surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) remain major issues. Few studies report on which anterior column support technique is better…

Objective: To critically evaluate the efficacy and safety of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) versus transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS). Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library,…
Objective: High grade lumbar spondylolisthesis (HGLS) remains a challenging surgical entity, and there is no current consensus regarding optimal surgical approach. The purpose of this study was to systematically review…
Background: It is not clear whether modified facet fusion (MFF) is biomechanically different from traditional fusion techniques such as posterior lateral lumbar fusion (PLF) and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).…
