TLDR
Although the majority of complications were minor, a relatively high rate of complications was reported and approach-related specific features of the two procedures were identified.Abstract:
Study Design.Retrospective nationwide questionnaire-based survey of complications.Objective.To elucidate the incidence of complications and risk factors associated with lateral interbody fusion (LIF).Summary of Background Data.After its introduction to Japan in February 2013, the numbers of LIF caseread more

Complications on minimally invasive oblique lumbar interbody fusion at L2–L5 levels: a review of the literature and surgical strategies
TL;DR: The most frequent complications associated with the OLIF procedure in L2-L5 lumbar levels are reviewed, as well as a description of technical strategies for the prevention of such complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcomes of oblique lateral interbody fusion for degenerative lumbar disease in patients under or over 65 years of age
TL;DR: Although there was the slightly high incidence of complication associated with high rate of co-morbidities in elderly patients, OLIF for degenerative lumbar diseases in elderly Patients showed favorable clinical and radiological outcomes.

Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in radiographic and clinical outcomes of oblique lateral interbody fusion and lateral lumbar interbody fusion for degenerative lumbar disease: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: The two groups of patients had similar changes in terms of DH, operative blood loss, operative time, hospital stay and the fusion rate, but the OLIF group shows advantages in VAS and ODI scores improvement.

Indirect decompression via oblique lateral interbody fusion for severe degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis: a comparative study with direct decompression transforaminal/posterior lumbar interbody fusion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the clinical outcome of oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) without posterior decompression versus conventional transforaminal lumbar inter body fusion (TLIF) and/or posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) approach, especially in patients with severe central canal stenosis.

Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF): a novel surgical technique for anterior lumbar interbody fusion.
TL;DR: The XLIF approach allows for anterior access to the disc space without an approach surgeon or the complications of an anterior intra-abdominal procedure.

Intraoperative and early postoperative complications in extreme lateral interbody fusion: an analysis of 600 cases.
TL;DR: Compared with traditional open approaches, the MIS lateral approach to fusion by using the XLIF technique resulted in a lower incidence of infection, visceral and neurologic injury, and transfusion as well as markedly shorter hospitalization.
Journal ArticleDOI
A radiographic assessment of the ability of the extreme lateral interbody fusion procedure to indirectly decompress the neural elements.
TL;DR: The XLIF procedure provides the necessary decompression for the treatment of central and/orlateral stenosis in a minimally disruptive way, avoiding, in most cases, the need for the direct resection of posterior elements and associated morbidities.

Complications and Morbidities of Mini-open Anterior Retroperitoneal Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion in 179 Patients
TL;DR: Minimally invasive OLIF can be performed easily and safely in the lumbar spine from L2 to L5, and at L1-2 for selected cases, and with decreased risk of abdominal wall weakness or herniation.
