XLIF MISS literature Review

Abstract

The interest to decrease the complications and morbility in patients, encourage the investigation to search for minor invasvies surgical techniques. The medical responsability for the wellness of the patient adds to the actual advanced technologies that is the origin to propose more efficent interventions. An example is the XLIF (extreme laterla interbody fusion) represents one of the avant-gard techniques of spine surgery. The XLIF represents an excelent option for the treatment of some spine compelx pathologies that needs descompression, balance alignement, arthrodesis and stabilization: degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis grade l and ll, deformities like degenerative scoliosis or adjacent disc disease are examples where the benefit of this technicc is evident. The XLIF represents an excelent option for the treatment of some spine compelx pathologies that needs descompression, balance alignement, arthrodesis and stabilization: degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis grade l and ll, deformities like degenerative scoliosis or adjacent disc disease are examples where the benefit of this technicc is evident. However, this method is contraindicated for L5-S1 (limited by iliac crest) disc disease or spondylolisthesis grade lll for example.
