The aim of this study was to directly compare the clinical outcomes of posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) in three-level lumbar spinal stenosis. This retrospective study involved a total of 60 patients with three-level degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis who underwent MIS-TLIF or PLIF from January 2010 to February 2012. Back and leg visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Short Form-36 (SF-36) scale were used to assess the pain, disability, and health status before surgery and postoperatively. In addition, the operating time, estimated blood loss, and hospital stay were also recorded. There were no significant differences in back VAS, leg VAS, ODI, SF-36, fusion condition, and complications at 12-month follow-up between the two groups (P>0.05). However, significantly less blood loss and shorter hospital stay were observed in MIS-TLIF group (P<0.05). Moreover, patients undergoing MIS-TLIF had significantly lower back VAS than those in PLIF group at 6-month follow-up (P<0.05). Compared with PLIF, MIS-TLIF might be a prior option because of noninferior efficacy as well as merits of less blood loss and quicker recovery in treating three-level lumbar spinal stenosis.

Aim. To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of intraoperative myelography in determining adequacy of indirect spinal canal decompression during transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF). Methods. Seven patients diagnosed with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) were prospectively included to this study. All patients underwent LLIF and subsequently received intraoperative myelography to determine the effect of indirect spinal canal decompression, which was visualized in both anterior-posterior and lateral images. Those patients with insufficient indirect canal decompression were further resolved by microendoscopic canal decompression (MECD). Radiological parameters, including stenosis ratio and dural sac area of operated levels, were measured and compared before and after operation. Besides, all patients were followed up for at least one year using visual analogue scale (VAS) for back and leg, Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (JOA), and Oswestry disability index (ODI). Results. Seven patients with 8 operated levels underwent LLIF safely and demonstrated significant symptom relief postoperatively. Five operated levels showed adequate indirect canal decompression intraoperatively, while the remaining three levels did not achieve the adequacy, and their residual stenosis was resolved following MECD. Radiological parameters were improved statistically when compared with preoperation (P<0.05). Furthermore, neurological symptoms of all patients were also improved significantly (P<0.05), shown by improved VAS (back and leg), JOA, and ODI at both two-week and one-year follow-up. Conclusions. Intraoperative myelography during LLIF is able to assess adequacy of indirect canal decompression for DLSS, thus promising favorable clinical outcomes.

Lumbar spinal stenosis dengan instabilitas, salah satu pilihan pengobatannya dengan laminektomi dekompresi, stabilisasi posterior dan PLIF (Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion). Derajat fusi dapat ditentukan dengan pemeriksaan CT-scan post operatif. Sedangkan untuk menilai disabilitas dan skor fungsional pada pasien LSS menggunakan skor Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analisis observasional pada 18 pasien LSS yang telah dilakukan operasi instrumentasi PLIF. Pasien diminta mengisi kuesioner ODI dan dilakukan evaluasi CT Scan, kemudian dilakukan uji korelasi data yang didapat. Penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya korelasi yang signifikan antara derajat fusi dengan ODI. Koefisien korelasi antara derajat fusi dengan ODI didapatkan 0,904 dengan nilai signifikansi 0,00 (p<0,05). Derajat fusi post operasi dari gambaran CT Scan memiliki korelasi yang signifikan terhadap derajat disabilitas menggunakan skor ODI.Kata Kunci: Lumbar spinal stenosis, Fusion rate, PLIF, ODI Lumbar spinal stenosis with instability one of the treatment options is decompression laminectomy, posterior stabilization and PLIF (Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion). The degree of fusion can be determined by CT scan post -operatively. To assess disability and functional scores in LSS patients can use the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). This study was an observational analysis study in 18 LSS patients who had PLIF instrumentation surgery. Patients were asked to fill in the ODI questionnaire and were evaluated for CT Scan, then the correlation data were obtained. This study shows a significant correlation between the degree of fusion and ODI. The correlation coefficient between the degree of fusion and ODI is 0.904 with a significance value of 0.00 (p <0.05). The degree of postoperative fusion of CT scans has a significant correlation to the degree of disability using the ODI score.Keywords: Lumbar spinal stenosis, Fusion rate, PLIF, ODI
