“…Retrograde ejaculation and sterility has been reported in many studies due to injury of the superior hypogastric sympathetic nerve plexus particularly when operating at L 4 /L 5 level. Vascular injury is more common when operating at L 4 /L 5 level due to the anatomy of the iliac vessels and iliolumbar vein. Spine specific complications include implant migration, graft collapse and expulsion and pseudoarthrosis.…”

“…Furthermore, according to Woolf's Law, fusion potential increases if grafts are placed under direct compression which supports placement of the graft in the anterior column. Additionally, the anterior and middle columns provide 90% of the osseous surface area containing more vas-cularity than the posterolateral space and this wide cancellous bed for graft contact enhances the fusion potential 13,31 . This also facilitates placing a larger interbody device that contacts the apophyseal ring and increases the segmental lordosis 13 .…”
