Minimally Invasive Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Clinical Adjacent Segment Pathology: A Comparative Study With Conventional Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Conclusions: Hybrid surgery for clinical ASP has advantages of segmental coronal and sagittal correction, and indirect decompression compared with conventional posterior surgery. However, LLIF-related complications such as endplate fracture and lower leg symptoms also developed. LLIF should be performed considering advantages and approach-related complications for the clinical ASP.
