Overview

Retrospective study shows oblique lumbar interbody fusion improves recovery and fusion rates in L4/L5 degenerative spondylolisthesis, indicating superior outcomes over transforaminal options.

Key Points

  • Oblique lumbar interbody fusion achieved superior intervertebral fusion rates and reduced operative blood loss compared to transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion techniques.
  • Single-centre retrospective study of 319 patients demonstrated significantly improved Oswestry disability index scores and higher lumbar lordosis angle maintenance after oblique fusion.
  • Supports oblique lumbar interbody fusion as the preferred surgical procedure for degenerative spondylolisthesis, though single-centre data warrant broader multi-institutional study.
