Summary: This study compared the outcomes of robot-guided and freehand fluoroscopy-guided MIS-TLIF surgery. The results showed that patients who underwent robot-guided surgery had a lower incidence of pedicle breach and less operative blood loss. They also had a shorter operative duration in higher-level spinal surgery. The postoperative outcomes were similar for both robot-guided and freehand fluoroscopy-guided procedures.

Summary: This study compared the clinical and radiographic outcomes of TLIF with UPSF and BPSF in the treatment of LFS. The results showed that UPSF achieved similar treatment effects to BPSF, with slightly shorter operative time and less blood loss.

Summary: Robot-assisted pedicle screw implantation showed higher accuracy and safety, fewer superior level facet joint violations, and less intra-operative blood loss and intra-operative fluoroscopy time in lumbar revision surgery compared to freehand screw implantation.

Summary: This study analyzed the clinical and radiographic efficacy of one-stage OLIF and two-stage OLIF for lumbar diseases. Two-stage OLIF was associated with longer operation times, longer hospital stays, and a greater likelihood of complications. Improvements in radiographic parameters were comparable between one-stage and two-stage OLIF. Long-term follow-up is necessary for confirming treatment outcomes.

Summary: The use of ASF in OLIF surgery does not reduce the stress on the endplate and contact surface between the vertebrae and screw, which may increase the risk of cage subsidence and screw loosening.

Summary: This study used finite element analysis to compare the biomechanical properties of a novel posterior fixation device with a conventional pedicle screw system in lumbar fusion surgery. The results showed that the new device can effectively reduce the range of motion of the spine and provide comparable stability to the traditional screw system when used with different interbody devices.

Summary: Comparing traditional pedicle screws with cortical bone trajectory-pedicle screws in posterior lumbar fusion surgery, it was found that the cortical screw group had less blood loss and shorter operative time, with a lower total complication rate. However, these findings were based on limited, bias-prone retrospective studies.

Summary: This study compared the postoperative outcomes of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis treated with oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). It was found that OLIF can maintain corrected disc height but has limited impact on global alignment.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes and characteristics of oblique lumbar interbody fusion stand-alone (OLIF-SA) and OLIF with posterior pedicle screw fixation (OLIF-PPS) in the treatment of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis. The results showed that the clinical and radiographic outcomes were similar in both groups, but the OLIF-PPS group had better improvement in spinal deformity, restoration of disc height, and fusion speed.

Summary: This retrospective case series aimed to investigate the influence of screw size on bone fusion in posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). The study found that screw fitness in the pedicle and screw insertion depth in the vertebra were significant factors affecting bone fusion. The results suggest that screw size should be determined based on individual vertebral anatomy, considering the screw fitness in the pedicle and screw insertion depth in the vertebra for L4-L5 PLIF.

Summary: This study used finite element analysis to investigate the biomechanical effects of combining OLIF with BPSF, UPSF, or LPSF. The results showed minimal differences in total deformation among the different groups, but the groups exhibited different endplate stress due to different movements. Using UPSF fixation may lead to higher cage stress, but the stress produced on the endplate was comparable to that in the other two groups. Therefore, combining OLIF with UPSF can save time and enhance stability, which is comparable to a standard BPSF surgery.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of robot-assisted and fluoroscopy-guided pedicle screw placement in patients who underwent transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. The results showed that the robot-assisted group had a lower screw loosening rate and similar patient-reported outcomes compared to the fluoroscopy-guided group.

Summary: Based on this meta-analysis, it was found that unilateral pedicle screw fixation (UPSF) is comparable to bilateral pedicle screw fixation (BPSF) in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for lumbar degenerative diseases. UPSF may reduce blood loss and operation time, but may result in more cage migration than BPSF.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical, functional, and radiographical outcomes of one-level minimally invasive transforaminal interbody fusion with unilateral pedicle screw fixation (UNILIF) for stable lumbar degenerative diseases. The results showed that UNILIF method is a safe and effective surgical strategy, providing durable improvement in functional scores and stable radiological correction over a follow-up period of more than 7 years.
