The most common indications for surgery were degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis, with the typical level at L4–5. The mean age was 57.35 ± 12.8 years, and more than half of the patients were females. Results: A total of 37 patients were recruited. The surgical technique is described in this paper. The patients’ medical records were reviewed, and the included patients were asked to complete two outcome-questionnaires before surgery and at the six-month visit. Patients undergoing MS-MIS TLIF with marker screws were consecutively included. Materials and Methods: A prospective case series was conducted between October 2018 and February 2021. We report our technique to share our knowledge and experience with the aim of achieving a better MIS-TLIF that would help both surgeons and patients. In addition, this paper outlines major differences in radiation exposure, cost effectiveness and accuracy of Marker Screw Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Interbody Fusion (MS-MIS TLIF) compared to other techniques. Moreover, we report perioperative, postoperative, and patient-related outcomes.
In this paper, we describe a new MIS-TLIF technique and pedicle screw insertion using a marker screw as a guidance method. Background and Objective: Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (MIS-TLIF) has been investigated and shown excellent short- and long-term outcomes.
