Abstract:[Objective]Tocomparetheclinicaloutcomesofendoscopictransforaminal lumbar interbodyfusion(Endo-TLIF)versus minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for single-segment lumbar revision. [Methods]Aretrospective studywasconductedon60patientswhounderwent single-level lumbar revisionsurgeryinthespinal surgerydepartmentofourhospital fromOctober2016toJanuary2022.Accordingtodoctor-patientcommunication,30patientsunderwentEndo-TLIFrevision,whereasother 30patientsunderwentMIS-TLIFrevision.Theperioperativeperiod, follow-upandimagingdataof thetwogroupswerecompared.

As for imaging, the vertebral canal area and intervertebral space height were significantly increased in both groups after surgery compared with those preoperatively (P<0.05), whereas there were not statistically significant differences in the above imaging indexes and fusion grades between the two groups at corresponding time points (P>0.05). [Conclusion] Endo-TLIF can achieve the same therapeutic effect as MIS-TLIF for single-level lumbar revision. By comparison, the Endo-TLIF has less trauma, fewer complications, faster postoperative recovery and higher safety over the MIS-TLIF.
