Abstract
: The lateral transpsoas approach (extreme lateral interbody fusion, or XLIF) allows surgeons to use various lordotic cage sizes to help restore intervertebral disk height, correct sagittal alignment, and improve fusion rates. The use of standalone devices has consistently raised doubts due to the high risk of complications and inadequate functional recovery that a circumferential arthrodesis can support. The recent introduction of a novel XLIF cage with adapted lateral plate fixation (XLPF) may further enhance the structural rigidity, consolidating the cage and plate into a singular modular entity. Nine patients from our surgical centers underwent a procedure of 1-level XLIF with XLPF in selected cases. We observed that XLPF does not extend the intraoperative footprint and provides immediate rigidity to the anterior column without any additional risk of complications and with minimal increased time compared to the traditional cage implant procedure. Although it has been shown that the use of interbody fusion cages with supplemental posterior fixation improves stabilization in all directions, the technique of standalone lateral cages may also have a place in spine surgery in that the stability may be sufficient in selected cases, such as junctional syndrome and in some forms of degenerative scoliosis.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
