Retrospective study compares outcomes of OLIF and MIS-TLIF in degenerative lumbar disease, indicating varying effectiveness in pain relief and radiographic correction.
OLIF and MIS-TLIF effectively improved pain, disability, and radiographic parameters in two-level lumbar degenerative disease. MIS-TLIF offered faster short-term leg pain relief, whereas OLIF achieved superior radiographic correction. Larger prospective studies are required to validate these findings and inform surgical decision-making.
