Perioperative Modifications to the Open TLIF Provide Comparable Short-term Outcomes to the MIS-TLIF

Conclusions: The results of this study identify that patients who underwent modified Open TLIF demonstrated favorable short-term outcomes, as compared with the tubular MIS-TLIF, by virtue of avoidance of blood transfusions, shorter hospital stays, and significantly less opioid usage while experiencing satisfactory PROs.
