Context: Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) is performed via an abdominal approach to remove the intervertebral disc. Although academic reports suggest low intraoperative complication rates, the available data show significant variability. There is a lack of large-scale, robust studies that consistently evaluate the morbidity rates associated with this procedure. Objective This study evaluates the operative parameters of this procedure based on a substantial number of cases. Study Design: A retrospective case series. Methods Patient data were retrospectively collected from the database of the Instituto de Acessos à coluna Aécio Dias (IAAD). All patients aged 18 years or older who underwent ALIF surgery were included in the study. Patients who underwent other surgical approaches were excluded. Data on intraoperative morbidity (vascular injuries, injuries to intra- and extraperitoneal organs, dural sac injuries, and nerve root injuries), operative time, and blood loss were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 3,438 patients were evaluated. 1,671 (48.6%) were male, and 1,767 (51.4%) were female. The mean age was 47.87 ± 12.10 years, ranging from 18 to 88 years. The reported incidence of complications was as follows: vascular injuries (3.25%), nerve root injuries (0.09%), dural sac injuries (0.06%), and injuries to intra- and extraperitoneal organs (0.03%). Conclusions ALIF surgery demonstrated safety and low morbidity. A multidisciplinary team, including access surgeons, played a pivotal role in reducing vascular complications, optimizing surgical times, and minimizing blood loss, aligning with the standards reported in the literature.
