Lumbar interbody fusion is an important technique for the treatment of degenerative disc disease and degenerative scoliosis. The oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) establishes a minimally invasive retroperitoneal exposure anterior to the psoas and lumbar plexus. In this video case presentation, the authors demonstrate the techniques of the OLIF at L5–S1 performed on a 69-year-old female with degenerative scoliosis as one component of an overall strategy for her deformity correction.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/VMUYWKLAl0g.

Aim: To compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of percutaneous endoscopic-assisted lumbar interbody fusion (PELIF) versus oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) for the treatment of symptomatic low-grade lumbar spondylolisthesis. Material & methods: The clinical and radiographic records of 48 patients underwent single-level minimally invasive lumbar fusion with a PELIF (n = 16) or OLIF (n = 32) were reviewed. Results: The clinical and radiographic outcomes were similar in both groups. PELIF procedure exhibited superior capability of the enlargement of foraminal width, but inferior capability of the restoration of foraminal height than OLIF procedure. Conclusion: PELIF minimizes the iatrogenic damages and perioperative risks to a great extent, and seems to be a promising option for the treatment of symptomatic low-grade lumbar spondylolisthesis.

Aim: To compare the outcomes of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for degenerative spondylolisthesis transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF). Materials & methods: The clinical and surgical characteristics and outcomes of 38 patients with MIS–OLIF and 55 with MIS–TLIF were retrospectively evaluated. Results: Procedures and hospital stay were shorter and blood loss was less, with MIS–OLIF than with MIS–OLIF. The clinical and radiographic outcomes were similar. Postoperative changes in disk height and foraminal dimension were greater and patient satisfaction was better with MIS–OLIF than with MIS–TLIF. Conclusion: The clinical findings associated with the two procedures were similar; but patients preferred MIS–OLIF, which is less invasive, to MIS–TLIF. Clinical trial registration number: ChiCTR1800019443.
