Assessment of Injury Incidence and Radiological Outcomes in OLIF L5/S1: Iliac Bifurcation Versus Prepsoas Approach

Both surgical approaches are safe and effective. The bifurcation corridor approach using an anterior lumbar interbody fusion cage optimizes segmental angulation, while the prepsoas corridor approach is more effective for increasing foraminal height. Careful preoperative anatomical evaluation is essential for selecting the optimal surgical approach.

Abstract

Both surgical approaches are safe and effective. The bifurcation corridor approach using an anterior lumbar interbody fusion cage optimizes segmental angulation, while the prepsoas corridor approach is more effective for increasing foraminal height. Careful preoperative anatomical evaluation is essential for selecting the optimal surgical approach.
