Minimally Invasive L5-S1 Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion With Simultaneous Robotic Single Position Posterior Fixation: 2-Dimensional Operative Video
Abstract
The unique anatomy at L5-S1 presents different challenges and considerations to be made when compared to other areas in the lumbar spine. In this way, the oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) is more closely related to a supine anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) except that the former is performed in a lateral position down a smaller minimally invasive retroperitoneal corridor. This lateral positioning at L5-S1, however, provides an opportunity for single-position surgery simultaneously with posterior fixation, which is not afforded by other approaches.
