Abstract

ABSTRACT
Background: Degenerative lumbar spine disease is one of the most prevalent disease. The treatment available can relieve radicular symptoms but it has limited potential in relieving back pain.
Objective: to evaluate the operative outcomes of MI-TLIF in treatment of degenerative lumbosacral spine diseases.
Methods: This is a prospective interventional study conducted on patients presented to Aswan university hospital with any of the degenerative lumbosacral spine diseases.
Results: we included 30 participants with mean age 55 ± 8 years, of them 18 were males and about 50% of participants didn’t have any comorbidities. The mean operative time was 152 ± 23 minutes, the mean C-arm duration was 213 ± 29 seconds while the mean essential blood loss was 199 ± 108 ml. The only operative complication was two cases with Dural tear and another case had both root injury and Dural tear.
Conclusion: MI-TLIF is a reliable, and effective surgical technique, with reasonable operative duration, and low incidence of complications.
