Overview

Systematic review compares minimally invasive surgery methods for spondylolisthesis, suggesting implications for surgical management.

Key Points

  • Both MIS transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and OLIF demonstrated effectiveness in managing degenerative spondylolisthesis, indicating their utility in surgery.
  • In a review of 13 studies involving 714 patients, significant improvements were observed in the Oswestry Disability Index after surgery, showing positive outcomes.
  • The systematic review involved searching PubMed and screening journals for studies from 2015 to 2025, emphasizing the rigorous methodology used.
  • While both MIS techniques may lower perioperative morbidity, variability in outcomes limits definitive conclusions about their superiority in treatment.
