Abstract

Objective: Evaluating the results of lateral interbody bone graft surgery and posterior percutaneous screw for treating lumbar stenosis and lumbar spondylolisthesis at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. Patients diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar spondylolisthesis were treated surgically with the XLIF (extreme lateral interbody fusion) at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. Results: 18 patients with 19 levels surgery 7 subjects are male, 11 are female, average age is 58.83 ± 8.679. There were 6 cases of spondylolisthesis and 12 cases of lumbar spinal stenosis. The main clinical symptoms are back pain (100%), unilateral radicular pain (77.8%), and claudication from 100 to 500m (38.9%). 17 cases of 1-stage XLIF surgery, 1 cases of 2-stage XLIF surgery, average surgery time was 138.95 ± 39.001 minutes, average blood loss was 30.37 ± 30.015ml. There were one case failure, 1 case of abdominal wall hernia. XLIF surgery is a minimally invasive surgical method that reduces pain, does not damage the paravertebral muscles, reduces bleeding, indirect decompression does not affect the spinal canal.
