Clinical Comparison of Endoscopic Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion and Open Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Treating Lumbar Spondylolisthesis
Both Endo-PLIF and open PLIF are effective for treating single-segment lumbar spondylolisthesis. Endo-PLIF shows advantages in reducing blood loss, shortening hospital stays, and promoting early ambulation, with comparable fusion rates and patient satisfaction to open PLIF. Despite minor complications in the Endo-PLIF group and cerebrospinal fluid leakage in the open PLIF group, both procedures lead to significant improvements in pain and disability scores, with Endo-PLIF demonstrating more significant early improvements.
