Unilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion (ULIF) versus minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF) for the treatment of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis: a retrospective analysis
Compared to MI-TLIF, the ULIF technique has the advantages of less hemorrhage, less inflammation, and earlier fusion. However, this approach has a limited operation time. However, further clinical outcomes need to be followed up in the longer term.
